Asked By TechieSam123 On

After reinstalling Windows 11, I'm seeing two of my disks showing up in the left sidebar of File Explorer, but I can't find them listed under 'This PC.' I'd like to know how I can remove these extra disk entries.

You could also check the registry to fix this issue. Navigate to `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerDesktopNameSpace` and look for any double entries you might want to remove. Just be cautious when editing the registry, as it can affect your system.

It sounds like you might be seeing some leftover entries from your previous installation or from external tools. You can tweak your Folder Options to manage how drives are displayed. Go to View > Options in File Explorer, from there you can adjust the settings to hide or show drives under ‘This PC’. Also, you could check your registry settings if you're comfortable doing that.
