    "C:\Users\\Documents\"


    "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\<File Folder name>" refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."

    So I have been deleting files from the Windows folder I know big mistake, and now the file folders 3D Objects, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and Videos won't work and won't load. Is there any way I can restore these files?

    :)

  2. Document, Picutures, etc Folders under C:\User\{username} vs Same named folders under C:\User\[username]\One Drive

    What is the difference (content) between the folders Documents, Pictures, etc. in c:\Users\[username] and same named folders under c:\Users\[username]\OneDrive? Why aren't the contents the same?

    User's folder is not present in c:\\Users

    Putting aside your somewhat random use of forward, backward, and double slashes, please explain the difference between:

    • In Windows 7 Window Explorer, one cannot view the UserName folder
      in c:\\Users
    and

    • UserName folder, normally viewable from c://Users, can be still be viewed and fully accessed from UserName's Desktop
      via Window's Explorer
    Click Start, type C:\Users into the Search box, and press Enter

    Please list everything you see. If you would rather not reveal actual user names, use UserA, UserB, UserC, etc. Please mention whether view hidden files and folders is enabled or not.

    Is the name of one (or more) users missing from the list of items?

    Navigate to any document in the "UserName folder" that you can't see in C:\Users, then right-click and select Properties.

    What is shown as the document's "Location"? Again, if you want to use UserA rather than the actual name, that's OK.

    How to change locations of Documents or Pictures to C:\Users\username\Documents or Pictures

    In my new computer setup, Windows 10 set up the folders Documents and Pictures under "This PC" to C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Documents and C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Pictures. I want to set up these folders to C:\Users\username\Documents and C:\Users\username\Pictures.
    I tried to change location through folder properties\location\restore default. But windows did not allow me to do it, showing an error message "Can't move the folder because there is a folder in the same location that can't be redirected. Access is denied".
    How do I change the folders of Documents (Pictures) under "This PC" to
    C:\Users\username\Documents (Pictures)? Thanks.
