How do I remove the Home / Quick Access folders from folder tree? (Win 11 22H2)

Are you using the current version of Opus and Win11 on that machine?

It might also be worth making sure Opus isn't set to run in compatibility mode for a previous version of Windows, as that could mess up version-specific things which the Opus folder tree does to workaround Microsoft's changes in different versions:
