Why I have 2 Onedrives in File Explorer?

Anonymous

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

Hello Zenobia,

I was having the same issue and this solved it for me. I found two entries with corresponding (Default) values:
```
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6} OneDrive - Personal
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{04271989-C4D2-EEAF-95D1-C278CDA8F148} OneDrive
```
I did as you told me with the second entry and after a quick Explorer restart the double entry disappeared. Is it safe to delete the whole entry or are there safety reasons behind why we shouldn't do that?

Regards,
Thibaud Van Wilder

Many thanks. Had to reinstall Windows and finished up with a double OneDrive listing. The steps above have resolved this problem.
