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?
Stop -> start the sync !
Check the files that are failing! Try renaming or moving them! Then stop / start sync!

- No files are failing, all files are synced, the folder is stuck on pending sync.
- No errors shown? For how long have it been stuck?
Tried stopping the sync?- No errors, "one drive is up-to-date", all files are synced. Only some folders are showing "pending to sync" with nothing to sync? I guess Windows explorer bug?
I'm having this problem as well, on two different computers, two different OneDrive accounts.
I've seen on other PCs also.
It's unfortunately, a pretty widespread problem, looks like to me.
Sometimes I have a bit of success disabling and renabling "Always keep on this device" for the offending folder. Or enable and disable "Free up space."
But some of them just don't go away until I rename the folder, make a new one and drag everything into it. (Sometimes we're talking about a thousand files, so it would be nice if MS could fix this.)
