Windows 10: Cannot relocate "Picture" folder to original place

So i wanted to move my Picture folder from C to D drive but i accidentally didn't specify a folder and i relocated to the D drive itself and when i try to revert back to default it give me this error: translated it says: Cannot relocate folder here Failed to create the D:\found.000 libary normal sub-libaries list. Access Denied.

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

 

Trying to relocate my Picture folder location...

Hello Robert,

A corrupted user account is a possible cause of the issue you're experiencing with relocating the
Pictures folder. That being said, we'll need more details to properly address your concern. Please answer the following:

• Since you mentioned that the Pictures folder is set to OneDrive, have you tried setting it back to
  This PC only? Right-click the OneDrive icon >
  Settings > Auto Save, set Pictures to
  This PC only.
  
• Are you experiencing the same issue with other user accounts on the PC?
  
• Can you send us a screenshot
  of the Properties of the Pictures folder?

If the issue continues even after changing back the save location of the Pictures folder from
OneDrive to This PC only, we advise you to unlink
OneDrive. Make sure all your personal files are synced first before performing this procedure. Follow the steps found in this

article on how to unlink OneDrive. Try to set the location of the
Picture folder back to default.

We'll be waiting for the results.

 

Folder security after relocating user folders

Hello,

I have a C-drive (system) and a D-drive (data).

After I install Windows 10, I move user folders to my D-drive by relocating the Documents, Pictures, Videos etc. folders within Properties|Location. This seems to be an official function within Windows.

However, by using this Windows feature the security is inherited from the D-drive, so the security is wrong after the folder move. This results in all users receiving access to all folders.

Questions:

• is there an official Windows feature for moving the complete User-folder to the D-drive with a single action (instead of moving all subfolders?
• Is there a way to keep the original security settings for the User-folders instead of inheriting them from the D-drive?

Thanks in advance,

SJW
