Why I have 2 Onedrives in File Explorer?

i just noticed that i have 2 onedrives on my device. Both are exactly the same and contain the same files. They don't cause any errors but I wonder if there is any way to delete one of them.

There is also another onedrive folder in C:\Users\Hao\OneDrive which is similar to the two above. Sorry if I didn't explain clearly, I'm not a native speaker

    I found that you can find the appropriate setting faster by searching for "OneDrive - Personal" (without the quotes). However, I did not find two of the same entries. All the "OneDrive - Personal" entries in my registry have the same CLSID and are at different paths in the registry. As far as I can tell, there are no duplicate entries. Also, when I tried the recommended change from 1 to 0 as Zenobia described, that change was reverted as soon as I restarted the computer (as I verified by checking the registry again).

    I'm thinking that the one that should be deleted is the one that was inserted into the registry earliest in time since the problem occurred for me after I uninstalled and then reinstalled OneDrive. I assume the second installation installed a second entry in the registry. So, I need to delete the earliest entry in time. Then the question, how do tell which entry occurred earliest in time. Can I tell by the sorting of the CLSIDs?

    I have also the same problem with Windows 11 ARM64 apple silicon version. The given instructions won't work for me.

    EDIT: Tried once more and restarted Windows. Now it works. Thanks.
