So far, I have try to remove OneDrive from the navigation in file explorer. Hope it can help you.
- Run
regedit
as administrator - 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}
- Find the registry :
System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree
- 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...– AleMay 8, 2019 at 16:17
