    My Document folder went missing right after recovering the missing Pictures folder


    Firstly, I accidentally deleted the Pictures folder in the File Explorer but eventually recovered it. However, right after that, the Documents folder went missing. I think there might be wrong with the procedure I went through while recovering the Pictures Folder.

    :)

    Missing Pictures Folder

    1. I removed Pictures from OneDrive.
    2. Then i had to go into registry editor, to set "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\My Pictures" path back to "%USERPROFILE%\Pictures".
    3. Then i deleted the remnant 'Pictures' folder in the OneDrive folder (which was displaying a red dot).
    4. Now, Pictures folder is missing from my user directory.
    5. However, Pictures folder is visible in Quick Access. If i click Pictures in Quick Access, then i do see my pictures. The path of the folder is inside my User folder. But when i go to the user folder,
      Pictures folder isn't there. If i show Hidden items, it's still not there.

    My Document folder went missing right after recovering the missing Pictures folder

    Missing folder in "Documents" (?!)

    Thanks for responding.

    1. No changes were made.

    2. My computer>Documents (all other folders are there, one is missing)

    3. I'm referring to right-clicking on File explorer where there is a choice of 'restoring previous versions."

    Someone suggested something called EaseUSRecovery Wizard. Does it do anything?
