  2. Help with Roaming Folder in APPDATA

    hello i was trying to move my Roaming Folder from AppData to Drive D: but I set the location to D: instead of D:/roaming using "Change location" on the properties of the roaming folder now my entire Drive D: is considered as the roaming folder and all the folders and files are inside and I cant revert it back or move them cause there's no Roaming Folder to click "change location" also i forgot to create a restore point before doing this.

  3. The Background theme (image) showing Black after changing the AppData/Roaming Location

    I came across the Thread on the forum- have the same problem, Only I have changed location of my AppData/Roaming folder from C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming to E:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming (basically, moved the Roaming folder to drive
    E via Location tab in the Properties of Roaming folder).

    Redirecting

    Above thread suggests to remove the TranscodedWallpaper file (which I did)- and when I try to set any image as a Background, it does nothing, my screen stays Black.

    Also, when I try to go to the Personalise menu (by right clicking on Desktop) and changing the Solid colour to Image- it instantly switches back to Solid colour by itself.

    Any working ideas?

    I have Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit Activated

    and Nvidia Graphics card (if it matters)

    Can I change the location of the Microsoft folder from AppData\Roaming to another disk?

    Roaming AppData folder appears in OneDrive

    Hello

    In my Onedrive, I have a folder called E:\OneDrive\Kiki - appdata\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows with 2 subfolders, Recent and Start Menu.

    I dont quite understand why it's there and not in the normal appdata section in C:\Users\Kiki\AppData\Roaming. I've tried to reset the location of the Roaming folder to default but no that hasn't helped.

    If anyone can provide a fix, that would be lovely!

    Thanks!!
