Now restart your computer and check if the issue is still there or not. If you can’t see it then you might have to click the upward arrow button and it will show up.
Right click your OneDrive icon in the system tray (right bottom corner). Follow the steps given below to unlink and re-link the OneDrive If you unlink the OneDrive and then re-Link it back then the problem might be solved. Method 1: Unlinking and Linking the OneDrive Note: It is advised to perform a backup of your data that is in OneDrive folders just to make sure no data loss occur. Whatever is the reason or the case, there are plenty of methods mentioned below so follow them one by one until your problem is solved. If both of the drives have the same data and syncs correctly then it is mainly because of the issue with the Windows 10 and its upgrade.
This also is the reason for different data because some apps might still be set to store data in the older folder. Since the SkyDrive and OneDrive names are different, your system treats them differently and hence the 2 separate folders. If your drive was named SkyDrive in your previous Windows then upgrading to Windows 10 (where it is named OneDrive) causes this issue. The problem basically occurs because of the Windows upgrade and drive name.
Both folders have different data and your apps store data in the older folder rather than the newer one. This is obviously a problem since you want your data to be at a single place. But it can still cause confusion in the future especially if the syncing stops for one folder
This means that the problem is only limited to what the Windows Explorer is showing.
Both the folders have the same exact data and sync correctly. There are 3 variations (and possibly more) of this scenario. The problem of having two instances (or folders) showing in Windows Explorer only seems to be a cosmetic issue but it sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes you might see not one but two instances of OneDrive in your Windows Explorer especially if you recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8. There’s no doubt that there are many benefits of using OneDrive but sometimes you might face a few issues that are quite troublesome especially if you have important stuff stored on the cloud. Microsoft’s OneDrive also provide a great way of syncing your clout storage for access from multiple devices. OneDrive is Microsoft’s cloud storage platform that lets you store your important documents and media files on the cloud.
