Windows 10: Changing downloads folder location

I accidentally changed my downloads folder location to D:\ partition.

I want to change it to a folder called DOWNLOADZ_NEW in D:\ partition, how do I do it?

I'm using Windows 10 version 1909. (build 18363.628)
This is how the downloads folder looks like in the left side menu of Windows explorer.

Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

No tried that.

Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

any more suggestions
