Windows 10: Edge download problems

I am using Windows 10 version 1903 and Microsoft Edge.

I set edge to download to a common folder … C:\all\ …

It was working fine for weeks. No matter what website I downloaded from all the downloads went to the common folder.

All of sudden (can't remember when it started) some downloads would go to the common folder and some would go to a folder called … Downloads … This folder was not setup by me. It is part of the system.

Can someone please help ?

Thanks

:)
