Windows 10: Does deleting items from Downloads folder affect them saved other places?

I would like to clean out my Downloads Folder on my laptop. I have saved all of the files I need from any downloads directly to organized folders elsewhere on my computer. If I delete them from my Downloads folder...will this also delete the files I have saved to other places on my computer?

video downloads required to be placed in "Videos" folder

Thanks for responding. However, the settings you suggested were already in place. But I did stumble across the solution.

The particular folder to which I was trying to save the download video to in its Properties under the Security tab was set to require restrictions. I then went to the "edit" button and added check marks to allow all the listed items and that corrected the
problem.

 

Trouble deleting a folder

Thanks for the suggestion but it says "delete folder failed for E:\....." for each folder I try.

*Confused

Will I be forever stuck with these unnecessary folders? *Oh Well hwell:

 

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
