    I cut and pasted my music and picture shell folders from my solid-state drive to my hard drive


    I cut and pasted my music and picture shell folders from my solid-state drive to my hard drive. I no longer see the music and picture folder icons in my user directory. Now I know I should have moved their location. How can I make them appear there again?

    :)

    Hi Bob

    I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

    Restart the Computer and they should appear again. Select the folder you pasted on the solid state drive when changing the location, not the root of the solid state drive.

    Moving Librariy files and folders to secondary hard drive

    Hi Bailey,

    We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

    Yes, as you said you will face problems if you cut and paste the library folders to the new hard drive. If you cut and paste the libraries folder some of the Windows functions such as Downloads, Music, Pictures and Videos
    will not work properly

    If you want to access the library folders in the new hard drive, I suggest you to copy the Library folders (Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos). Follow the steps to copy the library folders.


    • Press Windows + E keys on the keyboard to open Windows explorer.

    • Find the Libraries on the left navigation pane of the Windows Explorer. (If libraries are not there, click on
      View tab at the top of Windows explorer, click on Navigation pane and select the
      Show Libraries)

    • Now, right click on Libraries from the left navigation pane and click on
      Copy.

    • Open the new hard drive and paste the Libraries folder by pressing
      CTRL + V key on the keyboard. (paste the libraries folders on the new hard drive where ever you want)

    As you have less space on the primary hard drive, I suggest you to follow the below article to free up drive space.

    I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
