I'm not referring to the Quick Access folder, but to a folder that's recently appeared in the DRIVE section of my file explorer navigation pane. I'm not sure why it's listed with my drives, but it is.
It has a crazy long name, (Creative Cloud Files Personal Account {my email} XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@AdobeID), and the unpin registry hack doesn't remove it.
I don't use Creative Cloud for file storage, and want this eyesore of a folder gone.
Please help.
manually delete the entry:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\
and see if that works.

I used this advice. It worked, thank you! BUT. . . I think maybe I deleted too much? Because now something else isn't working. I'm hoping you have a fix for that also:
Normally, when I hit the "Move to" or "Copy to" commands on the menu in File Explore, a dropdown menu opens with a list of the files that I have pinned in Quick Access. Now I only get the "choose location" option.
Is there a way to restore this?

It works only temporarily as it comes back right away while checking for updates.

it returns when checking for updates, or after an update?

For me nothing works.
• Not deleting \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\ in regedit
• Not importing unPinCCF.reg in regedit
--> The devilish "Creative Cloud Files Personal Account ... " folder still appears. 😞
Any other idea?

There is Windows advice for this, and I was working with Adobe Support for macOS.

They shared a modified [com.apple.LSSharedFileList.FavoriteItems.sfl3] file. The modified file did not work for me. Not only was the "Creative Cloud Files Personal Account…" folder still visible on the Finder sidebar, but all my personal folders on the Finder sidebar were removed. I replaced the modified file with the backup made, rebooted, and all was back to normal. The "Creative Cloud Files Personal Account…" folder is still visible.

I have tried everything below - even downloaded ADOBE's PinCCF registry editor - no luck. The nasty file in explorer insits on staying.........
Any thoughts?

too complicated trying to check and remember if different users did different things.
each should start their own thread.
