    Can't browse to my user account location, must enter path manually


    I'm setting up a new computer, and I moved the content files (Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and Videos) to my secondary hard drive using the Properties, Location, Move method. Now when I navigate to the Users file on my C drive I only see the Public folder. If I type in the full location (C:\Users\Rache) I can see everything that should be there. Is there any way to make the Rache folder show up inside the Users folder again? Is it going to cause any problems that it's not showing? Thanks for any help or suggestions you can give me!

    :)

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del
