    How do I fix my 'downloads' after it accidentally merged with 'user' file?


    Hello! I have an urgent issue, I wanted to keep my C: drive free of downloaded files since windows is on it and I don't want that drive to get "clogged" up by files. In properties I changed my 'downloads' file location to D:, and it accidentally merged with my 'user' file. Now when I download something it doesn't do it automatically as it's supposed to, but opens my files for me to find a location for it. I've restored my 'downloads' file in C: and it's empty, but my actual downloads are still merged with my 'user' file in D:. Please help!

    :)
