One Drive Explorer Shortcuts Deletion Issue

Hello everyone,

After testing about 10,000 solutions, I'm turning to the community for the first time.

To facilitate my company's work, we are trying to install One Drive in order to collaborate online. The problem is that my computer already had a personal configuration (integrated with Windows 10, linked to my personal account) and installing a new One Drive for my company slightly blew a fuse in my nice computer (I should specify that it is brand new). SO, I uninstalled the beast by all means, removed every trace of this big piece of crap to start over, BUT it's impossible to get rid of the mention of the old folders in the file explorer hierarchy. When I click on them, good grief, it tells me that access is denied (no kidding) but I can't get rid of them.

I couldn't find the famous %APPDATA% file to clean, but tried about 10,000 command prompts, one of which took me 2 hours of work on reboot to "repair" something or other with no effect.

It's very trivial, but I hate when something doesn't make sense in the realm of computing =)

Thank you in advance,

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 61.0.3163.100

Hi,

The error of location not found is simply because the link to the documents in quick access is incorrect.
When you sync the documents folder with OneDrive, it changes the link; when you remove OneDrive, it removes the folder... so the link is no longer valid.

This is explained on this page: https://www.malekal.com/arreter-synchronisation-dossier-documents-onedrive-windows10/
