Windows Media Player 12 keeps including OneDrive as a library

How do I stop WMP 12 from including OneDrive as a library and thus duplication of music against what is stored on my C: drive?

I have gone into Organise - Manage Libraries - Music and removed the OneDrive entry but after a reboot or on fresh start-up it just reappears.

I only want WMP to look at my local C: library but still want "Music" to be synced within the OneDrive app settings.

Any help appreciated.

Hello @AjayK47,




Does this Tutorial help? => How to Choose Folders for OneDrive Selective Sync in Windows 10

I hope this helps.

Thank you but this is the OneDrive settings not Windows Media Player. I still want my physical music library synched to OneDrive but not have WMP see it as another location to list music from and hence duplication. I would have thought changing the settings as I described would have sorted it, which it does temporarily but after restart the OneDrive folder just reappears.

Hello @AjayK47,

Are you saying that if you right click on the OneDrive icon in Taskbar > Properties > then Folders, and untick the Folders you DON'T want to use, it does NOT work?

I'm not talking about settings for OneDrive. I still need my "Music" library synched to OneDrive.

What I don't want is for WMP to see my C: Music Library as well as the "Music" library on my OneDrive drive. I can remove the OneDrive folder within Music Library Locations settings of WMp (As per screen shot below) but as soon as I reboot it reappears and I then end up with duplication of every item within WMP as it is looking at two locations.

Have you considered another player like foobar2000?
