Folder in Explorer after uninstall

[NAF04]

Description

Hello,
I tried Sefirah, but when I uninstalled it, the Folder "RemoteDevice" stayed in my Windows Explorer as a no-name folder (see screenshot), what regedit key needs to be deleted to delete this ?
When i click on it an error appear : (translated to :) Cloud file provider not running
Even when Sefirah is installed, my android storage dont appear inside (and yes i granted the storage access on my phone)

Steps To Reproduce

• Install Sefirah on Windows (and Android)
• Link phone and PC
• Uninstall Sefirah on Windows
• Check explorer

Windows Version

10.0.22631 Build 22631 (Windows 11 Pro)

Android Version

Android 15

Android Device

Xiaomi Redmi Note 12

Other details

The Redmi note 12 is from Link to Windows (I killed it before using Sefirah)

Tanks ;)

In normal cases, you wouldn't need to do anything in registry. Uninstalling the app should automatically remove the provider from the explorer.

When i click on it an error appear : (translated to :) Cloud file provider not running

That would show up, if the app is not connected to the Android so that is normal since you uninstalled the app.

For the registry entry, it should be in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{64333596-CA52-480B-BB59-48A81ABB270F}

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\StorageSense\Parameters\StoragePolicy

You should probably delete both of these entries.

Even when Sefirah is installed, my android storage dont appear inside (and yes i granted the storage access on my phone)

Could you share the logs? It would help me narrow down what the problem is, thanks.

The registry keys have indeed deleted the folder 👍🏻
Where are the logs of Sefirah ? Should I reinstall it to find them ?

Glad it worked.

Where are the logs of Sefirah ? Should I reinstall it to find them ?

C:\Users\{user-profile}\AppData\Local\Packages\shrimqy.Seki-PhoneLink_fbe9dzh3mzsqw\LocalState\

The logs will be in the above-mentioned location if it wasn't deleted already. If it doesn't it would be really helpful if you could reinstall and get me the logs (only after encountering the said error). Oh and btw the files from your Android Storage could take a bit to hydrate or could also be due to other reasons for why the storage files not appearing, if it was the latter, then the correct error will help with debugging what went wrong.

Thank you.

C:\Users{user-profile}\AppData\Local\Packages\shrimqy.Seki-PhoneLink_fbe9dzh3mzsqw\LocalState\

This path doesn't exist for me anymore, probably because last time I uninstalled Sefirah, I used a leftover cleaner to see if it could have deleted the "RemoteDevice" folder.
After reinstalling it, connecting to my phone, here there are :
Log20250207.log

The Windows app keeps crashing when my phone connects :/

And another question : what is Sekia ? I saw it on F-Droid, and it seems to be exactly the same app :)

Thanks, this helps.

The Windows app keeps crashing when my phone connects :/

I'll fix that in the next update, assuming that's the only issue causing the crash.

AA yes, that was the old name of the app, did you mean IzzyOnDroid?

I'm using Neo Store, so I have many repositories, it's probably not F-droid yeah ^^'

Aaa I see, that makes sense.

I will let you know when there is a fix.

For the registry entry, it should be in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace{64333596-CA52-480B-BB59-48A81ABB270F}

for anyone else having this issue, I had to delete this regkey to remove the folder from explorer after uninstalling Sefirah. Although, my folder name was different than {64333596-CA52-480B-BB59-48A81ABB270F}

I have uninstalled Sefirah and i have deleted the registry keys but the Downloads folder in Windows is still not accessible. Nothing changed, unfortunately

[shrimqy]

@bcrtvkcs try to restart after deleting the registry keys, if that still doesn't work, there might be some other problem, I will try to reproduce this if I can.

[bcrtvkcs]

I used the Microsoft Store deployment of Sefirah. I have uninstalled it then delete all Namespaces and StoragePolicy registry keys that you mentioned previously. I have just restarted Windows but it didn't help.

[shrimqy]

@bcrtvkcs try to remove this as well:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SyncRootManager\Shrimqy:Sefirah!S-1-5-21-3784758315-3947551462-3657158634-1007!c4a7cf61-a747-47bc-84b9-32bb953ccc78\NamespaceCLSID

It's not exist already cause i have uninstalled Sefirah
