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?
Hey there,
encountered the same problem today. Stop-start sync did not work, shutting down both personal and business Onedrivers did not help either, rebooted several times, no effect. My Onedrive was telling me it was in sync and the folder was created and had only been edited on the device that gave me the problem.
Ultimately solved the problem by following the steps hinted by engkaram, although all my folders were already showing hidden items. However, newly applying this setting to all folders uncovered a desktop.ini file with a sync pending status that I was able to remove after shutting down OneDrive. One extra reboot and the folder was out of the sync pending state. Hope this helps other users with the same problem.

Well... that was a bit optimistic... It solved the problem with renaming an underlying folder, but not with renaming the parent folder after all...
So, like I read in another post above, by now this also applies to me: this problem drives me nuts! It hat cost me hours already, apparently the bug has existed for over two years already and now the only solution is to unlink en newly setup OneDrive again? #payingcustomer #deeplyannoyed
Somehow, I feel like suggestions by other users are true: this seems like an explorer problem, since Onedrive rightfully tells me it is in sync. As if there is some registry entry blocking the folder

- For me this problem (i.e. when using files on demand, some folders incorrectly show sync pending status, though OneDrive shows all up to date, and no hidden/system/temp files are involved) seems to be linked to incomplete search indexing. In my case, indexing seems to have become stuck, and on clearing the search index the sync pending errors were also cleared and, now the index has eventually been rebuilt, sync pending error seems to be staying clear. Fingers crossed.
