Question asked on Oct 24, 2013
When I upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, a second SkyDrive file was created in c:\users\[username].  The folders have the same path, same name and sync to the same SkyDrive account.  I have tried to remove the duplicate folder, but get a message that prevents me from doing so stating that the folder or a file in the folder is open in another program and then lists SkyDrive as the folder/program that is using the folder.  I have ended the SkyDrive app and closed out of all the folders and files, but still cannot delete the duplicate folder.  Does anyone know how to remove it?
