"My Vault.lnk The name or type is not allowed. Please rename the item or remove it from OneDrive.

Since Logging into my laptop today i've got a onedrive sync issue "My Vault.lnk  The name or type is not allowed. Please rename the item or remove it from OneDrive. Since the day before when there was no issue and today i preformed an upgrade to the laptop. Cloned and replaced the HDD with a new SSD and added more memory. I don't see how those actions would cuaue this OneDrive Issue. I tried to rename the folder with no success. I deleted the folder to recycle but it simply replaces itself with the same issue. How can this issue be resolved simply please?

Hello glennrayster
I am V. Arya, Independent Advisor, to work with you on this issue. Please try these steps and check after each step.

1. Reset Onedrive
Windows Key+R > Copy the below and paste and Enter
%localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset

2. If above doesn't work - Do unlinking of Onedrive (This will perform resyncing again, hence will take time)
Right click on your Onedrive, Click Settings, Click Unlink this PC
Wait for some time and link it again and then synch.
