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 the same problem on my PC. I did everything I could to get around it but without any success. How to get rid of it - that is the question. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, it was resolved by changing the registry. However, the issue recurred after signing in with another user and then returning to the current user on the same computer.
With all due respect, you have a choice. If you don't like OneDrive then use Google drive. And if you don't like Windows, you have the choice to use Chrome, macos and a lot on other options.
Instead of being rude, it may be an idea to accept that every software is likely to have issues and we have to do our best to report it and hopefully get it fixed.
Solution I found was uninstall one drive, restart windows and install OneDrive again.
Have a very good happy day.
Wanda's statement of facts was accurate and her expression of frustration more than appropriate. Telling her that she was rude is uncalled for.
That said, thanks for posting something that worked.
worked for me. thanks
Well, this method does solve the issue, but the problem is that it keeps popping up repeatedly. Sometimes right after the next computer reboot, sometimes it takes a couple of days, but it always returns. I even tried to delete the parent key folder from the \HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID. still no use. It always keeps coming back. This thing started to happen to me when I lost access to the OneDrive due to an upgrade about a month ago, and nothing I tried worked, and I couldn't get back in. Then a dev replied to my questions, telling me that OneDrive has gone through an upgrade, and some users were facing the same issues. True enough, the drive was back online after some time, but with this problem nested in it. I have not been able to get rid of it. All other places, the drive works as it should; only on the PC explorer, it is showing duplicates
So my dear devs, any suggestions for that?
