Windows 10: Download folder moved

My Windows 10 Download folder has been moved to my Music folder and I need help to get it back to where it was.When I try to get access to it the following message appears.Fownloads is unavailable. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted then try again. If the location is on a network, make sure that you're connected to the network or internet, then try again.If the location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted. I've tried several methods suggested online which require selecting "Properties" then the "Location"

Moving download folder

As the link in Post #4 suggests, you have to Move the folder using the Location tab in it's Properties. This will overwrite any files you have in the Download Folder on the Backup drive if they are the same.
