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

    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.

    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?

    That 2 OneDrive's contents are not same?
    I guess the two OneDrive directs same one.

    If the contents of the two OneDrive is different, I think it is correct, because you added another OneDrive account.

    If you click One Drive icon, you can find "Add Account" menu.

    In my case, I didn't add another account, and it was corrected by the registry application.
    Hope it helps...

    I had the same problem.

    FIRST, I followed the registry modification instructions, and after some times the duplicate onedrive came back again.

    So,

    I uninstalled onedrive from "remove programs" , I restarted my computer and I re-installed onedrive.

    The duplicate onedrive folder is now gone.
