After having installed Office 365, I somehow got two OneDrive icons in the file explorer. Why does this just happen?

Windows Build/Version: 22621.675

My Computer

As I recall an earlier version of Office, it is quite possible to have both an Office version of OneDrive and a Windows version of OneDrive. I have only one on my Win10 with Office 2013 and only the same on my Win11 without Microsoft Office..

I guess one icon is for Quick Access (and can be removed) and the other is for accessinf OneDrive when you don't have it in the Quick Access. Both should open the same thing. You can just remove it from Quick Access (right-click and select Remove from Quick Access) so you don't have it twice.
