Windows 10: Win 11 & One Drive

I just received a new Dell XPS 8940 and setup Win 11 as usual. I downloaded all the updates required before reinstalling my Carbonite backup with took 3 days. After files were reinstalled I am now having problems with One Drive trying to sync everything. I have paused sync and can't access my files from my computer without One Drive running and it is telling me I am low on disc space. I have a 256GB M.2 PC1e NVMe Solid State Drive + 1TB 7200 rpm 3.5" SATA Hard Drive. One Drive has placed several redundant files on my desktop and I am at my wits end on what to do to correct the problem

Optical Drive Issue

Hello Anak –

Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

What do you think?

Hi Jerry, you're welcome.

Here's mine after I rt clk'd on my Documents Folder like you show in Scrsht 11:




I'd like to wait until you reply to my question in Scrsht 12, if it is a remnant of the process try deleting the one on the dsktp and see if the one in send to also disappears. If it stays in send to, test it, and if you're still having problems I'd suggest you could go back to: Option One: To Add or Remove Items in Send To context menu for Your Account (current user) and do Step 3 to remove it and start over using Step 4 but be very careful of your steps in creating the shortcut and be sure you d&d that shortcut to the send to part of the address.

I'm busy today and I probably won't be back until the evening.
