    Removing OneDrive from nav pane through registry unsuccesful


    I got fed up with OneDrive and Quick access(I use neither of them) cluttering the navigation pane of my file explorer, so I attempted to delete OneDrive with the shred option from BleachBit, although it didn't remove it from the navigation pane. Then I went and looked up ways to remove them. Quick access was removed succesfully by following instructions.

    For OneDrive, I went into registry editor and went to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}
    and deleted the OneDrive folder.

    Now, I closed and reopened file explorer, and even restarted my pc, but OneDrive is still in the navigation pane.
    What do I do now?

    I am on Win10 22H2

    To remove Onedrive you should have proceeded carefully. I have posted about doing this elsewhere.

    Assuming it has been synching your data you should have done this:

    OneDrive Questions Please

    It would have been worth consulting the searchable Tutorials section- lots of Onedrive tutorials there...

    and this too:

    No worries, my pc isn't connected to a microsoft account.

    But wouldn't you know it, it seems to have been solved by simply uninstalling OneDrive, which probably should have been the first thing to try, I just kind of expected it to be a hassle from the getgo.

    Thanks for the links either way
