As checked the user, he hasn't shared any files with anyone and permissions are not inherited from Laptop desktop folder.

Hi @JulieM-2552

Based on your description, I have 3 questions as below.

  1. Does the 2 extra users have Read permission of other folders in OneDrive?

  2. Do the 2 users have Read permission of a local folder that not sync to OneDrive?

  3. Are there any other system accounts on this computer? Please go to Settings>Accounts to have a check.

Besides, you may check if the 2 users have admin permissions.

Thanks for your reply.
Please click icon of OneDrive>Help & Settings>Settings>Account to Stop sync temporarily. Then go to Desktop folder Properties to have a check.
If the 2 extra users still exist, please click Edit to see if you could remove the permissions of them.
To re-sync, you may refer to this article "Choose which OneDrive folders to sync to your computer".
