Why I have 2 Onedrives in File Explorer?

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

    Totally agree Philip

    I for one do not edit the registry and this issue has caused me a lot of grief, especially in my business where we use Microsoft 365.

    I took Yamastraka's advice and gave up on Onedrive since it appears Microsoft can not get Onedrive to work correctly and moved to DropBox. Now no reason to pay for the Office 365 subscription since I don't use the storage space.

    Thanks for pointing me to the registry. Fresh installed Win11 here. Onedrive for business installed; then onedrive personal. The solution worked for me but 1. searching (from CLSID) is not with Win+F but Ctrl+F; 2. do not search for Onedrive but search for "Pinned" (without quotes); in the results check if it's about the personal Onedrive or another (Business Onedrive; business account etc). With the second (NOT the first) hit set the Namespace to 0.

    When I press windows key + F it takes me to a feedback hub so I cannot move forward with your instructions
