Onedrive status icon folder stuck on Sync Pending in file explorer
Onedrive status icon folder stuck on Sync Pending in file explorer. Tried to delete hidden temp files but icon doesn't change. Any advice? Is this a know bug?

First I had to disable "Hide protected operating System files" and delete all the un-synced temp files (most started with "~") per the instructions from jaymzwood
That fixed the sync status of most of the folders, but there were still a few stragglers that had this issue--but no hidden temp files.
Then I followed soepah method to rename those folders and wait 5-10 seconds for the icon to turn green, then rename them back. The icon would turn back to sync, but change to green again within a few seconds.
All the folders are green now--yay! And MS still hasn't fixed this bug as of April 2021--boo!

Jon Larson I also have this issue happening to me in the last day and can not gain any solution from the above forum.
Just wondering where to go next ? Has anyone any idea ?
