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 two One drives with data in both. I do not mess with the registry because of my knowledge level.

    Is there another workaround that I could try?

    In my case,

    another instance for System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree was found, and so I apply this;

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}]

    "System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree"=dword:00000000

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{04271989-C4D2-D0F3-8510-A8F99529A5A0}]

    "System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree"=dword:00000001

    and after that,

    no more two OneDrive Icons on File Explorer.

    Is there a permanent fix for this yet? Editing the registry works fine until system's rebooted and changes the 0 back to a 1.

    This worked for me with only one minor adjustment I had to make to step #1 above so that it worked on my Win11 Dell Laptop:

    1. I had to hit CTRL + F to activate the Search Window within the CLSID subfolder of the Registry.

    Thanks again for a very straightforward method to fix the issue, the images, in particular, were invaluable.
