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

Microsoft 365 and Office | OneDrive | For home | Windows

    I'm using Windows 11. This actually worked when i'm done editing the registry and restart the windows explorer. But once I restart my laptop i see 2 onedrive folders again.

    Well, it worked for a little while. However, it then kept saying it had to fix c:/ drive. Upon restarting the computer, and allowing it to fix c, the second One Drive folder was back. Maybe another solution would be in order.

    Dear Hảo Chung,

    Thank you for your reply.

    We see that you have cancelled the OneDrive link on your laptop and consulted the corresponding laptop users who are worried that it is due to the model manufacturer's problem.

    If you still need to confirm later, you can try the corresponding solution information again, and if you have other questions, you can also reply to us at any time.

    We can help you further query and confirm the problem.

    Best Regards,

    Zenobia.Z | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

    Sorry for the late reply. I am currently having some other issues unrelated to this, and I had to unlink OneDrive from my laptop. So, I have not checked if the solution you provided will solve the problem of having 2 OneDrive folders. I have consulted some users with the same laptop model as me who also have the same problem. So, I think this is probably just a model manufacturer issue. However, I really appreciate your support. I will reply as soon as there is any notable update
