If you’re using the latest Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, you might notice that there is a special entry under This PC in the File Explorer navigation pane. This entry is named as 3D Objects, which is default saving location for 3D objects. As we all know, Creators Update is much focused on 3D creativity, hence such items have made their way to Windows 10 root locations.
In case if you’re not in favor of using 3D creativity on your Windows 10, you might want to remove 3D Objects link under This PC.

This is easiest, quick and only option that will help you to get rid of 3D Objects link.
