  1. File Explorer


    I have recently done a clean install of Windows 11 and everything is working just fine.However, I have noticed that in File Explorer each of my drives have been repeated except the C: Drive and so there is two of everything showing.Can anyone explain this please. Can I delete the copies or will that create problems? Hope this image will help.Many thanks.
