SharePoint folder syncing stopped, but folder is still showing up on the PC without "cloud" icon

So my colleague synced a folder from SharePoint, but she stopped it then. The folder is still visible in the OneDrive Enterprise folder.

So the circled folder is not synced anymore (no cloud icon), but the folder is nearly 400 GB, it can't be stored on the PC, while it has 250 GB SSD.

 

Where is this folder stored? How can it be deleted from the PC to not to delete it from somewhere else? If we rename the folder, it won't be renamed on the original sharepoint folder.

    Hello Purman,

    There is no need to be bothered as long as you have the files on demand feature turned on, synced items will not use storage from your device.
    You can make this finding by clicking on the OneDrive App > Settings Icon > Settings
    Under sync and back up, click on Advanced settings and you can verify if files on demand is enabled. If it is enabled, items in the folder are definitely not using up your device's storage.
