    Multiple My Document and My Pictures files


    It might seem that each time I updated Windows going back at least two decades, separate multiple My Document and separate multiple My Picture files were created. They are not always mirrors of each other. Sometimes there are My Docs folders w/files within the My Docs master folder with the one icon which is supposed to bring up all. There are others folders w/files which contain unique files from the others, hidden in various places like Users which do not come up with the rest. How in the world do I get all of these into the same folder without hunting through the drive in multiple places? ALSO, the same has happened in My Pictures, multiple often different files in folders scattered in about three different folders of jpegs. Appreciate your time and trouble. I have not tried to fix this for obvious reason that something could be "lost in space".

    :)

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

    Multiple My Document and My Pictures files

    Deleting multiple documents

    That is simply more steps. What I want is for it to automatically select the next document in the list... so all I have to do is keep hitting delete. I know how to highlight sections or multiple documents... But I shouldn't have to select multiple at
    a time. As it is now, I have to physically select the next document in the list then hit delete.

    For example, in Outlook, I can run down my list of emails for the day and just hit delete. Fast and simple.

    I was once able to do that in Explorer.
