  1. Is this folder important?


    As I was cleaning my desktop today, I noticed a folder that was seemingly empty. I could only find 3 files but when I went to delete it, it was nearly 8 gigabytes in size!

    I checked to see if there were any hidden folders, and surely enough there were a hundred of 'em. My only guesses as to what they could be is some kind of backup or files left from when I had Best Buy transfer all of my data from my old computer to this current one. After all, it was created on the same day I got that data transfer, and it has a bunch of programs I don't currently have installed on my computer..

    I know I just said I don't use most of these programs now but I'm still paranoid I might break my computer if I delete this, since I don't truly know if it's important or not. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

    :)

    importing photos

    Thank you for clearing that out. It looks like you are importing the files using the Photos app. When you import photos using this app, the files get imported into your Pictures library. To view these files, refer to these steps:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • On the list of folders on the left side of the window, click on Pictures. You shall see the photos imported from the SD card using the Photos app.

    Another option you have is to import the files solely using File Explorer. Here's how you can do it:

    • Connect the SD card into the computer.
    • Launch File Explorer.
    • Click on This PC.
    • Locate your SD card under Devices and drives.
    • Double-click on the SD card.
    • Manually choose which photos to move into your local folders. Right-click on each photo and choose
      Copy (Ctrl + C) then go to the destination folder then right-click on an empty space in the window and select
      Paste (Ctrl + V).
    • If you are importing all the photos, you can press Ctrl + A on the keyboard to select all of the files. Copy then Paste them into the destination folder.
    • If you are importing selective photos, hold the Ctrl key while clicking on the photos you want to copy. This will let you choose a number of photos instead of selecting all of them like what Step 7 suggests.

    Once you're able to get the hang of the tricks, importing photos will not be a challenge anymore.

    Tell us which method works best for you.

    We're here if you need more help.
