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

    I have no entries under CLSID under the registry key you specified. Now what do I do to eliminate the extra entry of MYNAME_OneDrive in File Explorer?

    Also, when I tried the file export , I got no OK after checking all. All that I could click on was SAVE

    Thank you!

    I followed these steps, but after I restarted my laptop, there were two OneDrive folders again. Then I went to read the comments, but nothing helped.

    For those who couldn't still solve the problem, this is what worked for me:

    Follow the steps above, but instead of clicking "Modify" and changing the value to "0", click on "Change Binary Values" and change the binnary number to "00 00 00 00". Hope this helps :)

    With all due respect, you have a choice. If you don't like OneDrive then use Google drive. And if you don't like Windows, you have the choice to use Chrome, macos and a lot on other options.

    Instead of being rude, it may be an idea to accept that every software is likely to have issues and we have to do our best to report it and hopefully get it fixed.

    Solution I found was uninstall one drive, restart windows and install OneDrive again.

    Have a very good happy day.

    First of all, why did you all design a software that causes the end user to see duplicate drives regardless of having a login and subscription? Your instructions are much too difficult to follow and why do I need to have to fix an issue that I didn't create. I have a OneDrive and now a OneDrive - Personal. If they are duplicates, then why should I have to go through them all to determine if they are both the same in order to then delete one of them. I didn't ask to have duplicates.
