Remove 'desktop' links permanently

Hi All

 

I already tried searching Google for it, but I can't find info on how to remove obsolete OneDrive icons from the desktop (Bureaublad).

 

In this 'explorer' view I have in the tree the 3 working OneDrive folder links. However on the 'desktop' (Bureaublad) view I see old obsolete icons eg. 'CEAN B.V. (32 bits)'. When I right-click I get the option to delete (verwijderen) and it will be removed.

It will however re-appear after refreshing the view. So how do I remove it permanently? Is it something in the Registry? If yes, where to look for it. I cannot find any settings in OneDrive itself. Thanks for any suggestion.

 

With kind regards

  • Found the entry in the registry under following location. I just removed the undesired ones. 

    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{04271989-C4D2-8B4A-852E-...}

    For other features you can search with the found key's here {04271989-C4D2-...} in my case. 

    Cheers
