Add or Remove the OneDrive Shortcut in File Explorer contains the registry files to quickly remove, or restore the OneDrive Shortcut in the navigation pane in File Explorer.

We need to edit the registry, but because there are three changes to be made, we recommend using our downloadable registry files rather than editing the registry yourself.

After you download the files, extract wherever you like and double-click on Remove OneDrive in File Explorer.reg to remove the shortcut. Double-click Restore OneDrive in File Explorer.reg if you change your mind later.

That's all there is to it. The OneDrive shortcut will immediately disappear with no need to reboot.
