How to Remove the 3D Objects Folders From Windows 10

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.
