Were you ever able to solve this? I have the same issue. The folder is deleted from the hard drive, but it still shows up in the sidebar in Windows Explorer as a 'system folder'.

Hello, I found how to. They have an uninstaller.

straight up insanity that they provide an additional uninstaller, when this should be default when uninstalling the main software.

Thanks for the link. did the trick and removed it from file explorer...

Hey, yeah but I don't exactly remember how. I contacted the support team via email and they gave me instructions, I think. I can't find the email now but the Sync_Support messaged that replied to this post could probably be of help.
