Ever opened File Explorer on Windows 10 and noticed a “3D Objects” folder sitting in This PC, even if you’ve never used it? You’re not alone. It’s part of Microsoft’s 3D content push from a few years ago—but for most users, it’s just clutter.

The good news? You can remove “3D Objects” from This PC with a simple registry edit. Here’s how to do it safely.

📌 What Is the “3D Objects” Folder?

Windows 10 added the 3D Objects folder as part of its early support for 3D modeling tools. It shows up under This PC along with Documents, Downloads, Pictures, and other default folders.

If you’re not into 3D modeling, you can safely remove it without affecting your system or files.

⚠️ Before You Start

This method involves editing the Windows Registry. It’s safe when done correctly, but as always, it’s smart to back up your registry first:

• Press Windows + R, type regedit, press Enter
• Go to File > Export, and save a backup just in case
