Windows 10: It seems like my Documents and Download folder has merged

Whenever i go to my files i see on quick access that it has the name "Documents" but still has the download logo. Do I need to worry about this and if so how do I fix it?

Merge Document Folders

Bob,

After you have put E:\Documents in Quick access, you can then consider the additional steps in post #11

And this would also be a good time to review your backup planning.

Merge Document Folders

Perhaps they 'relocated' the user folders to the E:\ drive so that the main drive would then be clear for reinstalling the OS.

I'll be ready for your questions about the additional steps in post #11 and your backup planning.
