Lost OneDrive from my Start folder

I rather stupidly lost OneDrive from my Start folder. I managed to almost recover it using instructions that I found on these forums. If I now tap on Start, Files-OneDrive, a window opens showing my Files from my old version of OneDrive. However, I often have to tap on a box on the top left corner and then on the OneDrive icon that appears. I find it hard to explain what I mean (multiple sclerosis problems) but I have the impression that using OneDrive is not as smooth or simple as it was a few days ago. Any ideas?

Thanks Dick, I have got a version of OneDrive in my Start Menu but it is called File - OneDrive and when I tap it a window opens that has OneDrive at the top and then the word, "Shared" and "This folder is empty". At the top left is a small blue rectangle with 12 tiny, white rectangles in it. When I tap this small rectangle a rectangle with the words, Mail, Calendar, People, OneDrive etc. appears. When I tap OneDrive a OneDrive window opens containing all the files in my OneDrive. This is OK but it does not work as it used to. I have files called OneDrive in my C drive and empty one in File Explorer that won't delete. I'd really like to get rid of OneDrive from my laptop and just have the one that Microsoft stored for me a couple of weeks ago, before I did what I did

I followed your instructions and, whether or not I set OneDrive to startup with Windows in my OneDrive settings, I have OneDrive with the name "Files - OneDrive" in my Start Menu and it does eventually take me to my files but I think that I have too many OneDrive files on my laptop. I'd like to get rid of them and have files like m favourite calendar be able to save backups to my OneDrive, kept by Microsoft.

I might be moving forward. I have a OneDrive icon in my Start folder but it looks like this, . If I open it and ask for the Properties and Location of any folders, for example, my icons folder I am told, "C:\Users\Robert\OneDrive\icons". I had expected or hoped for a folder on my OneDrive in the cloud. Where am I going wrong?

Thanks Brink, I successfully dropped folders into 1 synced folder and saw it appear in the other and disappear when it should. Its nice to have at all working as it should. Its also nice to be classed as a Junior Member at the age of 66.
