Windows 10: Folder Inception

So I was cleaning my files and discovered my files' folders cotained themselves. For example, Documents had a Documents folder inside with my docs, same with pictures and so on.

Why does that happen? Is it a virus? How do I correct it?

Universal Folder Options?

Thanks folks.
Much appreciated, all.
I will do my best to take it step by step and ignore the aggravation of having to be arsed in the first place.
On that note: can anyone suggest a good guide on how to familiarize myself with the intricasies of Win 10? Like I said I've been using windows since its inception but the new version has some quirks I'm not familiar with.
Thanks again.
Cheers and carry on.

 

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
