Hi,

I suggest you change the OneDrive folder name using the registry key, follow these steps:

1. Close OneDrive:
   • Click the OneDrive icon in the taskbar, select 'More', then 'Close OneDrive'.
2. Open Registry Editor:
   • Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
3. Find the Registry Key:
   • Press Ctrl + F and search for all occurrences of "OneDrive - Caleb".
4. Modify the Registry Key:
   • Replace "OneDrive - Caleb" with the new desired name in the following locations:
   • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts\Business1\UserFolder
   • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts\Business1\ScopeIdToMountPointPathCache\{ID}
   • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts\Business1\Tenants\{name}\{path}
   • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SyncEngines\Providers\OneDrive\{ID}\MountPoint
   • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\Provider\CBP\{ID}\NAMESPACE
5. Restart OneDrive:
   • Launch OneDrive again and check if the folder name has changed.
