So far, I have try to remove OneDrive from the navigation in file explorer. Hope it can help you.

  1. Run regedit as administrator
  2. Find the path(there are a large number of keys, we can use search for by Ctrl + F) :HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}
  3. Find the registry : System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree
  4. Change its value date to 0

Update:

For dropbox, you can modify the following registry to remove it. and change the System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree value to 0.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E31EA727-12ED-4702-820C-4B6445F28E1A}

Here is an article on how to remove entries from Win10 "This PC": https://www.thewindowsclub.com/remove-the-folders-from-this-pc-win..

But what I use is a free program named WinAeroTweaker: https://winaero.com/ which has many more features for tweaking the look & operation of Win10.

  • Thanks for sharing these links. It would be actually good to give a summary of the process, the idea being that web links wont necessarily be there forever...
