Hi Maria,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Your Quick Access folder is probably corrupt, the best option is to delete the content of Quick Access, and then re-pin the folders you need there.

Click your Start Button, then just type cmd and on the resulting menu, right click Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'

Paste this command into Command Prompt and press Enter:

del /F /Q %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\*

Paste this command into Command Prompt and press Enter:

del /F /Q %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\*

Paste this command into Command Prompt and press Enter:

del /F /Q %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations\*

Then, close Command Prompt and restart (not shut down) your PC.

    Hi Dave,

    When I try doing so, cmd gives me this reply message:

    'The system cannot find the path specified.'

    Any ideas?

    Thanks Sina

    Thanks Dave, This worked.
    I still don't understand why Microsoft makes it hard to stop using Onedrive 🤦‍♂️.

    This didn't work for me. All the commands went through fine. I restarted, but pinning to quick access still doesn't work. It used to work fine until a couple of weeks ago, but I don't know what changed. I haven't changed anything with OneDrive.
