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?
I'm a heavy OneDrive user and this issue happens when I delete and move too many large files at the same time. It happens every quarter when I start moving files from one of my OneDrive accounts to my other corporate One Drive account.
I normally delete and change the file names to correct it. This time, however, I was changing too many GB with OneDrive at the same time at the sync issues are happening at the main folder level and I don't want to use "Disable file on demand" because I have too many GB purposely not on my computer. But given that I can only change the file name online (I can't change the file folders on my computer), this may be the only way. I'll post what happens ...
It worked. I just restarted my computer, changed the folder names on my computer (or the online version and restart) and they are all syncing properly. I'll now change the file names back. But thank fully I didn't have to download the files that I don't want to download!
