    Ghost Folder


    I moved my downloads folder from C:\Users\mojo1\Downloads to a backup drive E:\ because it was taking up to much room, now i have removed E:\ drive and moved the downloads folder to another drive which works fine, but in the left hand window in file explorer under "This PC" the blue arrow indicating Downloads is still there and when you go to properties it says E:\ drive, but E:\ drive is gone, i cannot delete it or move it as the pop ups say E:\ drive cannot be found so i am left with a ghost folder that does not exist that i cannot get rid off.
    So i am hoping someone out there knows how to fix this problem so i can move on.

    Thanks for any Remedies that might help.

    :)

    How to remove ghost system folder

    Thank you for pointing me to another forum. I tried all the suggestions listed on the page your link took me to, but none of them worked for me. I have posted what I did which resulted in the ghost folder, so hopefully someone will come up with a solution
    for me. I'll let you know. Thanks again for taking the time to post the link.

  3. Sniper Ghost Warrior

    Hi Gary,

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • Do you face the issue only with Sniper Ghost Warrior?
    We would suggest you to update the graphics drivers and check.

    Gavin -

    Then continue with the other steps to remove the ghost App listing. One should work.
