Windows 10: Help Fixing File Libraries

So I recently installed a new hard drive to my laptop, in addition to the small ssd I had been using. I backed up all my files, and started moving my files to the E: drive. During this process, I also uninstalled onedrive, because I dont want it. I successfully relocated all my files, but some problems arose. The library shortcuts all worked, except for documents and pictures, which pointed to folders in the onedrive folder, still in my C: drive. When I tried to delete the onedrive folder, it would reappear soon after. While it was deleted, the shortcuts for pictures and documents would give an error when you tried to open them. I went into their properties, and tried to point them to the new folder location, but it wouldn't let me. How can I get it to work correctly? How do I let windows know that no, I dont want all my pictures and documents in onedrive! Also, windows created some weird system files folder (which is empty) in the E: drive which I can't delete. Why is this? Any help would be appreciated.

File Explorer Libraries resetting on Wondows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I would suggest you to try the following methods and check if that help.

Method 1: Restore Default Libraries.

Let’s first check if this happens only when you navigate through the Library directory. If yes, then this might be due to the corrupted or damaged library files or settings. So, let’s, first delete the Library folders from
the windows explorer and then we can restore the default libraries and check if that works. You may follow these steps:

• Open the “File Explorer” from the desktop interface by clicking on its icon on the taskbar.
• Right click on the Library items and click on “Delete”.

Note: Deleting a library does not delete the contents of the included folders. However, you may need to re-add or include your folders manually, if needed.

3. Right click on the Library icon in the Navigation pane of the window.

4. Click on “Restore default libraries”.

5. This recreates the library that you just deleted.

6. Now try to attach/upload the files from the Library directories and check if the issue still persists.

If the issue persists, then let’s run an
SFC Scan to check if this is caused by any corrupted or damaged protected system files.

Method 2: SFC Scan

The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

• 
  Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.
  
• 
  Select “Command Prompt (Admin)” from the menu.
  
• 
  At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press
  

• 
  sfc /scannow
  

4. Follow the on-screen instructions and complete the scan.

Important: It may ask for windows installation DVD to fix and to enable SFC to make more than minor repairs. Some files saved on your computer might get deleted when fixing corrupted files.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
