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 have a similar problem with OneDrive and OneDrive Personal. The OneDrive Personal was set up with the initial offering of 50gig of space with a Live email and when we subscribed to Microsoft 365 I used our company email address.

    The two drives are not connected which is a problem. I have two versions of files that are not identical.

    We really need help with this.

    I also have two OneDrive Personal entries in File Explorer. In the Registry under CLISD, there is only one OneDrive entry. I am on Canary build. I did a fresh install with this release. I have a 7th generation Intel CPU, and got a green screen after the fresh install, so after experimenting, ended up doing a fresh install of Windows 10, then upgraded that to Windows 11. I am 90% sure the problem showed up with my first configuration of OmeDrive. I have a different location for the folder from the default.

    I have tried this solution several times, but after restarting laptop, the 2 personal OneDrive folders are back. Also have noticed that the OneDrive folder is not showing in the C:Drive\User\Username folder, but if I right click each of the OneDrive folders in Windows explorer, both folders show that the location is C:\User\username! I would appreciate your help with this
