Onedrive Cache Clear

The OneDrive icon will disappear from your taskbar for a minute and then reappear once the reset is complete.

Copy and paste the following command and press Enter: %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset onedrive cache clear

Manual deletion on the same PC (for experiment) resulted in until I unlinked and re-linked my account – added 10 more minutes. The OneDrive icon will disappear from your taskbar
