Windows 10: Deleted empty Documents and Pictures folders on new laptop

My documents were not getting updated in One Drive consistently, which may have been due to the old laptop I was using. I was downloading files from a flash drive to a new laptop and got a OneDrive message saying I was over the 5GB limit of free space. I decided not to use OneDrive and also realized I should have just updated the flash drive with everything from the old laptop. Since both OneDrive and what I had uploaded from the flash drive were incomplete, I decided to wipe the documents folders in OneDrive and on the new laptop completely clean and start over. I wound up deleting the Docume

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That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date.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.
