How To Remove OneDrive from Right-click Menu in Windows 11/10

Don’t want the OneDrive option in the right-click menu? Follow these steps to remove the OneDrive option from the right-click menu in Windows 11 & 10.

On Windows 11 and Windows 10, OneDrive is installed by default. Because of that, when you right-click on any file or folder, you will see several OneDrive options such as Move to OneDrive, Share, Copy link, Manage access, View online, and View history. These options are pretty helpful for those already using OneDrive to store and share files. However, if you are not using OneDrive, the option in the right-click menu is unnecessary and often clutters it. Even those who use OneDrive regularly rarely ever use these options. So, removing the OneDrive option from the right-click menu reduces the bloat.

In this quick and easy guide, I will show you the steps to remove the OneDrive option from the right-click context menu in Windows 11 and Windows 10. Let’s get started.

Before You Start

• Administrator rights are required to remove or hide the OneDrive option from the right-click menu.
• This process required editing the registry. Before proceeding, please back up the registry. The backup helps you restore the registry if something goes wrong.

Remove Move to OneDrive Option in Right-click Menu

1. Press “Windows key + R” to open the Run dialog.
2. Type “regedit” and click “OK“.
3. Go to the following folder in the Registry Editor.
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions
4. Right-click the “Shell Extensions” folder on the left sidebar.
5. Select “New“, then “Key“.
6. Set “Blocked” as the new folder name.
7. Right-click the “Blocked” folder.
8. Select “New” and then “String” value.
9. Set the string value name as “{CB3D0F55-BC2C-4C1A-85ED-23ED75B5106B}“.
10. Right-click the “Blocked” folder again.
11. Select “New” and then “String” value.
12. Set the string value name as “{1FA0E654-C9F2-4A1F-9800-B9A75D744B00}“.
13. Close the Registry Editor.
14. Restart your computer.
15. After restarting, the OneDrive options will no longer appear in the right-click menu.

Detailed Steps (With Screenshots)

First, we must open the Registry Editor. To do that, press “Windows key + R“, type “regedit“, and click “OK“. Once it opens, go to the following folder. You can copy the path, paste it in the registry editor’s address bar, and press “Enter”.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions

Now, right-click on the “Shell Extensions” folder and select “New” and then “Key“. This action creates an empty folder. Name it as “Blocked“. Once you do that, the full path will be as follows (refer to the image below).

On the left sidebar, right-click on the “Blocked” folder and select the “New” > “String Value” option.

This creates an empty value in the right panel, name it “{CB3D0F55-BC2C-4C1A-85ED-23ED75B5106B}“.

We need to create another value. So, right-click the “Blocked” folder in the left sidebar again, select “New“, then “String Value“.

Like before, selecting the “String Value” option creates an empty value on the right panel. Name it as “{1FA0E654-C9F2-4A1F-9800-B9A75D744B00}“.

That is it. With that, you are done with modifying the registry. Close the Registry Editor and then restart your computer. After restarting, the OneDrive option is removed from the right-click menu.

In the future, if you want to restore the missing OneDrive icon, delete the string value we just created (right-click on the value and select “Delete”). For detailed steps, follow the link.
