Windows 10: Desktop is now accidently labeled E:\ and all items in the E Drive are displayed on Desktop

Hi


I was moving files to get more space on my C Drive and moved the folder that is the desktop to the E Drive and in the process it became labeled E:\ and all the items in the E Drive are now displayed on the desktop. So any amendments to the E Drive - new folder/ file are automatically seen on the desktop.


Any help with restoring the desktop files but keeping the desktop folder in the E Drive buit not labeled as E:\ I want to

store the desktop on the E Drive to save space on the C Drive


Thanks

:)

 

Desktop folder appears to have 'merged' with 'E' Drive on Windows 10

I installed a new HDD to my PC because my other drive was getting full.

I (foolishly) tried to move all the files on my desktop (mainly video files) to my new E Drive.

This has caused the Desktop folder to be renamed 'E' and any files added to the E drive now seem to appear on my desktop.

Note from the attached screenshot that the folder with the desktop icon now reads "E:/"

When I open the "New Volume - "E:/" it is simply a mirror of the desktop.

How can I fix this so that the desktop folder is called 'desktop' again and that new files save only inside the E drive itself rather than on the desktop. In other words how can I separate or unmerge them.

Thanks!

 

Move Desktop location after merging it with E Driver

Hello,

When I moved the Desktop location to E Driver, I accidentally moved it under E:\ without creating a folder Desktop. Therefore, the Desktop now merges with the whole E Drive. Namely, the computer now treats E:\ as Desktop!

When I tried to move my Desktop elsewhere, it actually moved the whole E:\, and of course, it is not allowed to do so

Is there any way to split E:\ and Desktop, or set the other folder as Desktop.

Thank you

 

windows 10 deleted my desktop files

Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

copied all files again to desktop.

Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

• Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
• Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
• Click on Users, select your User name
• Go to desktop folder

Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.
