Windows 10: I moved my Videos folder to a new ssd and now it shows a different name, how do I fix this...

I did some research online and checked the registry editor but no clue how to change the folder name back to Videos, after I moved to my new ssd.

Hi Nick,

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check the behavior.

• Create a new folder name it as 'My Videos'.
• Now copy/cut and paste the contents which are in the folder "Videos", and delete the folder "Videos".
• Now check the behavior.

Please keep us updated with the status of the folder, to assist you further.

Moved video folder to a different drive problems

Moved the video folder to a different drive Windows 10 20H2

I moved music folder, documents folder, downloads as the tutorial on here and it worked as expected

I then moved the videos folder in the same way that worked but when I reboot I get a folder in the frequent folder list that points to the old location C:\Users\antho and a video folder that points to F:\\New folder that works
If I click on the C:\Users\antho I get an error message that it points to a location that no longer exists I cannot delete this folder
If I click on the Videos folder It opens the new location as expected and the other one disappears then reappears if I close and reopen File explorer
