[Fix] Duplicate OneDrive Icon in File Explorer

When you open File Explorer, you may notice two instances of the OneDrive icon in the navigation pane. The first one may appear as “OneDrive” and the other one as “OneDrive – Personal”, both containing the same set of files and folders. You wonder how to remove the duplicate OneDrive entry.

Resolution

1. Launch the Registry Editor by running regedit.exe.
2. Go to the following branches one by one and delete them:

   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{04271989-C4D2-33C6-D508-7EACF9214B8E}
   
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{04271989-BBB7-D70C-7DFA-2EBCEEB89D3D}
   
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{04271989-C4D2-33C6-D508-7EACF9214B8E}
   
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{04271989-BBB7-D70C-7DFA-2EBCEEB89D3D}
   

   ---

   Note: If one of the above branches doesn’t exist, ignore and proceed to the next branch. Under the “NameSpace” registry key, you’ll see the {018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6} subkey. It’s the default “OneDrive – Personal” GUID. It should not be deleted.

3. After deleting each of the above keys, close File Explorer and reopen it.

That should remove the duplicate OneDrive entry in the File Explorer navigation pane.
