Would you like to delete the 3D Objects folder in Windows 10? It was bothering us but mostly because there's no delete or hide option. 3D Objects can be found in File Explorer under This PC and Users. Here's how to remove both.

The 3D Objects folders contain any 3D items you use in apps, including Paint 3D or Mixed Reality Viewer. If you don't use these apps, you can delete these folders.

Remember to back up your registry first. If you make a mistake or change your mind, you can easily restore it from a backup.

Video tutorial:

1: Remove 3D Objects from This PC

Open the registry editor by pressing the Windows Key + R and type in regedit and press enter.

Paste HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace into the address field.

Locate the key names {0DB7E03F-FC29-4DC6-9020-FF41B59E513A}, right-click and delete.

Close File Explorer and open it again, and it should be gone.

Some 64-Bit users might need to also delete {0DB7E03F-FC29-4DC6-9020-FF41B59E513A} from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace.

2: Remove 3D Objects from File Explorer
