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

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.
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.

What has solved the problem for me:
follow the advice given by Zenobia.Z - MSFT re registry - BUT if the duplicate folder returns after a restart go back to the registry and find the second entry for OneDrive. Go to 'Find' and Click 'Find Next' (or F3) as often as necessary to reach the next registry entry. Set as above to 0, close registry, restart.
In my case, I think it is a not deleted registry entry from a previous OneDrive installation that wasn't cleanly deleted. Re-Installing Office/OneDrive caused a second registry entry. Perhaps there are even more, I will wait and see.
If that works, i.e., the duplicate folder is gone, the registry entry can be deleted so it will not return. Or first just renamed, to be safe.
Anyway, worked for me. Hope it helps.

This worked for me. I have registry entries for both "OneDrive - Personal" and for "OneDrive"
Changing the value of "OneDrive - Personal" didn't work because it always resets to a value of 1 on restart
Changing the value of "OneDrive" DID WORK when changed the decimal value to 0
