Can't remove, hide or delete OneDrive account (from prior work employment) on PC's file explorer

Question

I cannot remove, hide or delete a OneDrive account (from prior work employment). The message I receive is: " The system cannot find the file specified."

Any suggestions on how I can hide it from my PC's file explorer? I want to keep using my personal OneDrive account but I would like to hide/delete my previous employer's onedrive from the file explorer.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Two methods that might help:

Method 1 : Remove OneDrive credential

• Run Control Panel > User Accounts
• Click "Manage your Credentials"
• Click "Windows Credentials"
• Click on any credential that mentions OneDrive and then on Remove, and at the prompt click Yes
• Restart the computer.

Method 2 : Registry update

Registry updates should be done with care and backup.

• Run regedit
• Position to the key Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID
• Click Ctrl+F and serach for OneDrive
• Continue clicking "Find next" until you fine one that says OneDrive in the (Default) item on the right
• Right-click the key name which is a long string of the format {018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}
• Select Delete
• Restart the computer.
