    OneDrive multiple copies of folders in Windows Explorer


    I use Windows 10 Pro 19042.867
    and OneDrive.
    In Windows Explorer on my PC I now have multiples of the same folder names and many of them are empty (the one I am looking at has 10 copies). How do I sort this out and just have one file?
    Thanks
    Lynne

    Here is an image of all 10 copies of one folder open on the desktop

    Have you been playing with the OneDrive settings?

    I don't know if this will help, but it may be worth a try: microsoft office - Removing -copy files OneDrive created - Super User

    Do you have your One Drive pointed to the E: drive? Are you looking at the folder on the E: drive that One Drive points to? That might explain the duplicate files you are looking at.

So now Windows 10 is linked to my hardware and no license key is required. So I can install windows 10 as many times as I want on the one machine in a dual boot environment?
