  1. Downloads folder is merged with D:


    So last night, I want to move all my data to the D: drive, leaving only the OS on the C: drive. When I tried moving the Downloads folder to D:, I accidentally merged it with the drive itself. When I tried to move it back to the original location, I got an error:"The folder can't be moved here""Failed to build the list of regular subdirectories under D:\System Volume Information. Access is denied."What should I do? I tried to upload an image, but it wouldn't let me, so I hope my explanation clear enough.

    :)

    Accidentally Merged my Downloads Folder with my D: Drive

    I was running out of space on my C: Drive (SSD) so I decided to change the location of my Downloads folder to my D: Drive which I generally use for my games.

    Anyways, I did the properties>location>move and then selected D: Drive. I went ahead and it has now merged the two together. I tried the restore default but get an error saying Failed to build the list of regular subdirectories under "D:\System Volume
    Information". Access is denied.


    Is there anyway to separate the two, or is it beyond repair now? I can restore windows to it's state it was in yesterday but will that un merge/separate my Downloads and D: Drive?

    Thanks.

  3. Downloads folder moved from C to D drive and has been merged with User folder

    I would just like to have the Downloads folder in the main section of the D drive (D:\Downloads).

    My user profile folder was D:\Hashim Ali, but I cannot view it anymore since it merged with the downloads folder. Now all the folder that used to be within D:\Hashim Ali are within D:\Downloads.

    I would just like to restore my user profile folder (D:\Hashim Ali) and separate it from D:\Downloads.

    Thank you.

    Downloads folder moved from C to D drive and has been merged with User folder

    How exactly did you manage to make the folder D:\Hashim Ali your user profile folder?

    Does the folder D:\Hashim Ali still exist?

    Where are these library folders: Music, Pictures, Documents?
