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

    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.

    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.

    I have tried this solution several times, but after restarting laptop, the 2 personal OneDrive folders are back. Also have noticed that the OneDrive folder is not showing in the C:Drive\User\Username folder, but if I right click each of the OneDrive folders in Windows explorer, both folders show that the location is C:\User\username! I would appreciate your help with this

    I also have two OneDrive Personal entries in File Explorer. In the Registry under CLISD, there is only one OneDrive entry. I am on Canary build. I did a fresh install with this release. I have a 7th generation Intel CPU, and got a green screen after the fresh install, so after experimenting, ended up doing a fresh install of Windows 10, then upgraded that to Windows 11. I am 90% sure the problem showed up with my first configuration of OmeDrive. I have a different location for the folder from the default.
