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?
The suggestion by rolandadmin worked for me, nothing else in this thread had worked. I followed these steps:
- In File Explorer click View
- Click Options (far right) > Change folder and search options
- Click View
- Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" - dialogue comes up, click Yes
- Apply, OK
- There should now be tmp files displayed in the folder in question, delete these
- Folder sync status should no longer be pending
- In File Explorer click View
- Click Options (far right) > Change folder and search options
- Click View
- Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" - dialogue comes up, click Yes
- Apply, OK
- There should now be tmp files displayed in the folder in question, delete these
- Folder sync status should no longer be pending
This worked for me also and gave the abilty to chase the sync pending symbols to the offending files with system files in. Thanks for this.
