Open `regedit`. (press the Windows Key and type regedit) +2. Search (CTL+F) for the name of the client, in this case `owncloud `. +3. Press `F3` for next search result. +4. Look for the key `System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree`. +5. Right click on the key name, change, set to `0` instead of `1`. + +You have to do this twice. Once for the `x64` and `x32` system settings. + +Once this is done, you don't even need a reboot, just open and close your explorer - the sidebar is clean.
