How to remove the 3D Objects folder from This PC in Windows 10

In this tutorial, we are going to see how to remove the 3D Objects folder from This PC in Windows 10. Microsoft’s Creators Update had already pushed 3D applications to the Windows 10 operating system. And the recent Fall Creators Update seems to have pushed even more 3D-related content.

If you open File Explorer on Windows 10 after installing Microsoft’s Creators Update, you will notice that a new folder called 3D Objects has appeared.

By default, this folder is empty, but its name indicates that it is the default storage location for 3D objects, in the same way that the Documents folder is the default location for documents.

The folder occupies space, and if you don’t want to use it, you can delete it. However, it is not as simple as a normal folder. You can’t just select it and press the Delete key on the keyboard, that would be too easy. In the same way, if you delete 3D applications from Windows 10, it will have no effect on the 3D Objects folder.
