Windows 10: DaveM121 please help! Merged 3D Objects and user profile folder while moving 3D Objects to...

Hi everyone, hopefully hi DaveM121,


I have a similiar problem you have already solved for user MaxT2593:

I also merged 3D Objects and user profile folder accidentally while moving 3D Objects to another drive. I did your suggested steps from the other thread but I still got a problem:


On my drive, where my personal folder "Matthias" should be, there is still the 3D Objects folder, which contains my "Matthias" folders documents, downloads etc. Sadly it cannot be simply renamed, the error message says there is already a folder with this name but actually it isn't.


Thx so much for your help already,


Matt

Tried moving User objects, now 3D Objects shows as a folder

Want to move my User settings to another partition but non-tenforums steps are wrong. Now my 3D Objects appears as a folder 'Dave', in my User folder alongside Pictures, etc. (I moved it back there.)

I've read the tutorials on this site and will follow. But how do I make my 3D Objects have it's true name again?
I'm not sure it is not in fact a folder. On the other partition it would sometimes appear as 3D Objects yet other times appear as folder Dave.

Thank you very much,

 

Help! Merged 3D Objects and user profile while moving items from SDD to HDD

Hi MaxT

That is no problem . . .

In Windows File Explorer, navigate to D:\Users\Max_T

Create a new folder in there called 3D Objects

Then restart your PC . ..

If you did have any 3D objects in your folder, you may need to manually move them from your user folder into that 3D Objects folder . . .

 

3D Objects folder

Hee, hee...

So your main User folder has become the 3D Objects folder (meaning anything that needs to access your User folder would get

lost and not be able to save, or may crash, etc. due to the new Folder name ) ?

When you open the 3D Objects/User folder you see the normal User stuff such as Photos, Music, Documents, etc. and a
3D Objects folder ?

If there is a 3D Objects folder within the renamed User folder, are you able to rename your User folder back ?

- Not clear on what method you used when tried to relocate the folder and "accidentally set it to my user folder"
though.

Was this in the 3D Objects Folders > Properties > Location tab ?

If so, try going back to Location and clicking on Restore, or try the Move option again.

- Failing that go the distance and try full a System Restore to a time before the bungle.

- Or you may have to repair/create a new User Account.

Likhitha describes the method in the thread below.

windows/forum/windows_10-performance-winpc/how-do-i-fix-a-corrupt-user-profile-in-win10

Basically - "Enable built-in administrator by following the steps below, create a new user profile, transfer all the data from the corrupted user


to the newly created user profile and check if the issue is resolved."...
Then delete your original now empty folder.
