Can't remove OneDrive Folder after uninstalling Microsoft's OneDrive

This registry location points to settings for frequently used Windows 10/11 folders, such as Documents, Pictures, and Videos. Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders The problem: When Microsoft's OneDrive was removed from the desktop, it left behind a folder named OneDrive that operates as a parent directory, replacing the locations of other directories. Solutions that involve finding registry entries associated with {018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6} did not work, since that entry was not longer available Editing the data values for the problematic pathways here appears to have solved the problem allowing the OneDrive folder to be removed. Example default settings below.
