Windows 10: File Explorer changing both location name in "This PC"

Before they were both named "E:" I do not know why, after I migrated OS and all files to the new NVMe M.2 drive and formatted the old HDD then moved some files back onto the HDD these two names just changed. I now know one is supposed to be named Videos and the other Pictures. What I did to get one of them named correctly was, I right click on the Pictures icon one then >Properties >Location and then reset location to default, which changed it from E: to C:\Users\"My Username"\Pictures. Clicked apply and ok. That solved the naming for the "Pictures" icon but also changed the "Videos" icon name to Pictures too.


Repeated the steps of going into properties for the "Videos" icon but when I click set default location, it gave the same location for the pictures only, which is C:\Users\"My Username"\Pictures. If I type it in manually to try and change the location to C:\Users\"My Username"\Videos, and apply it, it now changes both of them to "Videos".


How do i reset the default location for the "Videos" icon so it will only rename that icon to Videos and not rename both?
