    Cannot delete a folder in Finder that doesn't exist in system


    I have Icloud installed in Win 10 Home V 1909 and my Finder window shows 8 separate folders for Icloud Photos in left hand panel under Quick Access pane. The 8 folders properties window point to location :

    C:\Users\aoli7\OneDrive\Pictures\iCloud Photos

    but this location does not exist in C drive. Trying to open folders brings error window saying folder does not exist and may have been moved or deleted.


    Does anyone know how to delete a System folder from Finder list when the folder does not exist?


    Many thanks in advance for any assistance. Cannot delete a folder in Finder that doesn't exist in system bb297244-2d2f-4746-bb98-a09613a8c9b9?upload=true.png

    Folder in library does not exist, cannot delete library folder

    Thanks for the replies. Here's my update.

    ArazelEternal: I ran SFC, DISM and CHKDSK on both the C & D drives. No problems reported and the folder remains in my Libraries Folder.
    Brink: Yes, I can turn off the Libraries folder in the backup set but that doesn't fix the problem of the non-existent folder remaining in the library. That's the folder I'm trying to remove. The images show what I'm seeing in the folders listing of File Explorer. The first image shows the message that pops up when I first clink on the Pictures folder that's highlighted. The second image is what I see when I right click and choose properties. As you can see in the D: drive listing, there is no Documents folder there.
