I have deleted all Items out of the Channel as I couldn't sync it to my one-drive as it said it was already syncing to a shortcut to a folder from this shared library. I was trying to delete it all so I could start a new one which I have done, but I can't delete the original channel which I renamed, as it is still has a short cut somewhere. When I try, it says, We couldn't delete the channel. Try deleting it again.

Is there a way to force delete the old channel?

    Hi,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    I'm sorry you're experiencing this problem, you'll have to delete the shortcut which was synced before you can delete the old channel.
    Kindly refer to the article in the link below for detailed guide on how to delete the shortcut and after that you can go ahead to delete your old channel.
