OneDrive "Add shortcut to My files" says "You already have a shortcut to"

OneDrive (Personal) web view lists a folder under "Shared -> With you", but when "Add shortcut to My files" is selected, "You already have a shortcut to" is displayed.
Consequently, the shortcut to the shared folder does not synchronise with File Explorer in the root of the OneDrive Personal folder.

This happened after selecting "Hide from Shared" for the folder.
Now it cannot be unhidden (in OneDrive Personal, although OneDrive Business does have a menu item to Unhide a folder).

This was reported on a Microsoft forum here in April 2024 and the issue still exists in June 2025.

Does anyone know how to solve this? Tx
