    Download folder help


    Hi, I wanted to move my downloads folder to my HDD and I successfully did using the properties of the folder. But when I did I decided I wanted to move it back to my SSD so I tried doing it with the same way I moved it in the beginning but it kept showing me an error so I googled and I saw a solution that said to just say no when it asked if I wanted to move the files and it worked, but now I've got a problem. When I go to the HDD its like a download folder but it's not. pls help

    :)

    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.
