    Lost folders error "[the folder] is unavailable" in Windows 10

    After a few month since updating to Windows 10, my computer has lost some files. 2 folders containing various art files ranging from .jpeg to .png to .sai have disappeared, with a message saying "[the folder] is unavailable. If the location is on this
    PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again. If the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or Internet, and then try again. If the location still can't be found, it might have been
    moved or deleted." I have a toshiba laptop with the serial number YC515136Q, and before this 2 out of the 3 sub ports broke, so it isn't put together fairly well. Anyone have any suggestions?
