    Went to listen to a song yesterday. Found all my folders in Music, and they were all empty. As were the folders in Videos, Pictures, Downloads, Documents and all none foldered files were also gone. Checked hidden, nothing. Searched for file name, nothing. EaseUS Recovery sees them, but can't get them (all corrupted when recovered).



    I am a teacher, I am working for home. Please help.

    Picture User Folder vs Library Picture Folder / Add to User folder

    Hi,



    Form the issue description, I realize that you are trying to view your pictures in the default pictures library. To do so, you have to change the location of the folder that contains your pictures to the default pictures library folder.



    To view your pictures in the default pictures library, I suggest you to follow the steps below.




    • Right-click on the default Picture folder
      and click on Properties.

    • Navigate to Location tab.

    • Click on Move…. and select the folder that contains your pictures and click on
      Apply and then click on Ok.


    Hope the information helps. Kindly write back to us for further information on Windows. We will be happy to assist you.



    Thank you.

    Duplicate Music Library Sign Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft community.
