Unable to unpin a folder from Quick Access

Solved

Hello,
the unpin command from Quick Access is ineffective on a folder in Quick Access. The shortcut is also the only one that points to a folder in OneDrive. Is there a causal relationship? The other folders unpin without issue, except for this one!
Is it possible to force the removal from the Quick Access list?

Configuration: Windows / Edge 85.0.564.41

    Hello,

    1- Start by disabling OneDrive synchronization

    2- Open Windows Explorer.
    Right-click on Quick Access.

    In the next window, click on the General tab.
    Section → Privacy Statement
    Check the 2 boxes
    -Show files......
    -Show folders......
    Click on → Clear
    Close and restart Explorer to check

    3- Using a command prompt:
    In the search box on the taskbar type → cmd
    Right-click on Command Prompt → Run as administrator
    Copy/paste:

    del /F /Q %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

    Then press Enter.
    Close the black CMD window.
    A PC restart may be necessary.

    4- With Unlocker
    Once installed, right-click on the problematic shortcut.
    In theNone action box select → Delete

    5- Reactivate OneDrive synchronization if you use it.

    See you later

    Hello Pistouri,
    While fiddling around, before using your method, I drag & dropped the folder in question into Quick Access, and the unpin command worked!!!
    So, I'll keep your method in case I run into another issue.
    See you!

    Hello,

    I dragged and dropped the folder = Drag and drop
    Thank you for your feedback, I hadn't thought of that.
    Have a nice day.
