    You can double check the tutorial below to help remove the folders in This PC.

    Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10

    Uninstalling the Skype app should remove its context menu.

    For the other context menu items:

    Add or Remove 'Open in Windows Terminal' context menu in Windows 10

    Ah, ok. Removing the folders in This PC does not remove them from the source "MyUser" folder. Removing them from your "MyUser" folder will break things, so I wouldn't recommend it. As a workaround, you could hide these folders below to not see them.

    Set or Unset Hidden Attribute of Files and Folders in Windows 10

    Turning off "Show all folders" for the navigation pane will remove most of this.

    I don't use Skype, but you might check its settings to if there may be an option to remove the context menu.

    I tried this Hide method without a lot of success. I don't rememeber if I managed to remove them on my old setup but I have the impression that they were not here.
    For the Skype right click share I will investigate tomorrow.

    What is strnage on the share menu is that I desactivated all the features as you told me but it keeps displaying

    Hi Brink,

    I set to hide all the folders I don't want to see anymore in MyUser but as I decided to show all files it seems it does not work ( I d like to kep only My Downloads).
    I am not sure why you said that deleting this folder from MyUser could break things ?
    Best,
