Windows 10: File explorer

Hi. I was taking a windows 10 tutorial and made a mistake using file explorer.


I opened file explorer from the start menu and under pinned I right-clicked "Pictures" Remove from this list.


Pictures still shows under Pinned but now when I left click it I get a message saying "The item you selected is unavailable. it might have been moved renamed or removed. Do you want to remove it from the list"



Also, now when I click file explorer on the task bar "Pictures" is no longer under "Quick Access" or "Frequent Windows"



Does anyone know how I can restore this properly?


Thanks

:)
