    Hi there,


    I uninstalled Google Drive from my computer, but it stayed behind in File Explorer. I can't open the file, can't delete, can't move. It's just there. Anyone know how I can get rid of it? See screenshot for error message:

    Can't use file explorer to locate files in Google Drive

    After upgrading to Windows 10 ( free) , Whenever I go into my local google drive folder ( synched with Google Drive on the net ), and do a File Explorer Search, I cannot locate ANY file , even typing the obvious file like "tobefound.bmp" . But an idea came
    to me, when I copied Google Drive contents to say my Desk top and did the same thing...I could find the file.

    Is there a remedy to this.?

    Also, with Media Player and Live TV Gone, may I know is there a way to watch Live TV from the Antenna like before and to locate /watch all those recorded TV from before?

    Quick Access - "Location is not available"

    Have just done Windows 10 update from 8.1 - very smooth well done MS!

    Have encountered one small problem. In Windows Explorer have discovered "Quick Access" list. Clicking on one folder gives pop-up box "Location is not available" . Displays path which does not exist plus some suggestions as to what might have happened. If
    I right click on folder in list and select "Remove from Quick Access" nothing happens.

    How do I get rid of this folder from the list?

    Files showing up in file explorer but the location is not available: I have a couple folders and shortcuts including the Documents folder that are showing up in the file explorer but when I try to open them it is not able to locate the files. System File Checker does not detect any problems so I'm not sure how to fix the problem.-Thanks!...
