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?
Nope, and I can't find a solution anywhere, MS support is ignoring this completely.
We had the same issue with some users when we started to migrated their desktop/documents/pictures to OneDrive.
We found that the folder sits on "sync pending" as there are hidden files that wont sync. These files all start with "~" and seems to be old auto save or lock files.
We unticked "hide protected operating system files (recommended)" in windows explorer settings, this then allowed us to see those files and remove them.
We run Windows 1809 and OneDrive 19.103
Hope this helps
