A friend has a navigation pane in File Explorer which shows a duplicated entry for her OneDrive. How do I get rid of one of those? The full name of the OneDrive is “Nicole - xxxxxxx”. I obscured part of the name, in order to not reveal personal details.

Normally you could do this like so: rightclick one of the Nicoles and choose the option to remove !

Try this first. If this does not work for you, I have a registry edit that may work.

This below is the "safest" way I know to correct your problem.

OneDrive show up multiple times on the Navigation Pane - Microsoft Q&A

As the title suggest, how can I eliminate the duplicate entries of One Drive from the list? Thanks, Andy
