    Deleted Documents on cdrive


    I was attempting to stop using Onedrive and somehow deleted my documents folders on my c drive. I ended up re-installing Onedrive and restoring my documents from an external hard drive to my Onedrive documents folders. All recycle bins had been deleted. Everything is usable now but I am wondering how I can recreate that Documents folder on the c drive. I copied it over from Onedrive but now the location is not changeable. Before it was pointing to the Onedrive and now the location is c drive.Maybe it doesn't matter, but I was just trying to get everything back to the way it was prior to

    Deleting multiple documents

    That is simply more steps. What I want is for it to automatically select the next document in the list... so all I have to do is keep hitting delete. I know how to highlight sections or multiple documents... But I shouldn't have to select multiple at
    a time. As it is now, I have to physically select the next document in the list then hit delete.

    For example, in Outlook, I can run down my list of emails for the day and just hit delete. Fast and simple.

    I was once able to do that in Explorer.

    My Documents Files - Deleted?

    I have a PC where I have moved My Docs away from my C: to my E: so i can perhaps suggest a few things to check.

    1. The documents and settings folder will still be present on your C: (although unused)
    2. My Documents on my E: is shown as E:\Data (do you have a similar directory)
    3. Is your missing data in this \Data folder if it exists?
    4. If you click the My Documents shortcut does it take you to the default C:\doc and settings\blah blah, or does it take you to the \Data folder?

    Ive had a similar issue with an application resetting the My Docs path back to its orig location and in essence orphaning the My Docs on my E:
