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

    Many thanks. Had to reinstall Windows and finished up with a double OneDrive listing. The steps above have resolved this problem.

    Hello Zenobia,

    I was having the same issue and this solved it for me. I found two entries with corresponding (Default) values:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6} OneDrive - Personal
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{04271989-C4D2-EEAF-95D1-C278CDA8F148} OneDrive

    I did as you told me with the second entry and after a quick Explorer restart the double entry disappeared. Is it safe to delete the whole entry or are there safety reasons behind why we shouldn't do that?

    Regards,
    Thibaud Van Wilder

    I have also the same problem with Windows 11 ARM64 apple silicon version. The given instructions won't work for me.

    EDIT: Tried once more and restarted Windows. Now it works. Thanks.
