If you’ve already unlinked your PC from OneDrive but still see the OneDrive folder in File Explorer, you can remove it by following these steps:
- Open File Explorer and go to the “View” tab in the ribbon menu.
- Click on the “Options” button, which is located on the far right side of the ribbon menu.
- In the Folder Options window that appears, select the “View” tab.
- Scroll down and find the option “Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)” and make sure it is checked.
- Scroll up and find the option “Show hidden files, folders, and drives” and check it.
- Click “Apply” and then “OK” to save the changes.
- In File Explorer, navigate to the OneDrive folder.
- Right-click on the OneDrive folder and select “Properties.”
- In the Properties window, select the “General” tab.
- At the bottom of the General tab, check the box next to “Hidden.”
- Click “Apply” and then “OK” to save the changes.
- The OneDrive folder should now be hidden from File Explorer.
Note: If you ever need to access the OneDrive folder again, you can go back to the Folder Options window and uncheck the “Hidden files, folders, and drives” option.
