Windows 10: Quick acces - can't delete shortcut to deleted folder

I added a folder to quick access in explorer. But after I deleted that folder I am unable to delete the item in quick access? *sarc

Change taskbar icon?

You can change the icons for Pinned taskbar shortcuts from this folder:

%Appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

(Type that in Explorer address bar, or Run dialog.)

For Windows installer shortcuts the target can't be changed. In that case, you need to delete the existing shortcut and create a new shortcut for that program manually, and then Pin it to Taskbar.

 

windows 10 deleted my desktop files

I didn't move the folder, only pinned it to QUICK ACCESS and now the files are gone. I can find the shortcut but it says the files have been moved and to delete the shortcut. I haven't deleted the shortcut and have searched everywhere for my files.

And it has not been 31 days since i UPGRADED!

 

Hello huub, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

Are you able to right click on the item and click on Remove from Quick access to do so?

No... *Smile That is not an option in the right click menu. You can easaly test it. Make a shortcut in the quick access, after that, delete the original folder...

 

When you delete the source, it should automatically be removed from Quick access.

Please go ahead and post a screenshot showing this item in Quick access with its context menu open to see what the issue may be.

How about from within the main window of quick access?

 

I've never seen a folder pinned to Quick access have an option to expand in the navigation pane though.

Please go ahead and post a full screenshot showing this inside Quick access to see if it may reveal anything.

 

It is really the same... Items that exist, I can unpin. The 2 that are deleted, not anymore.
Screenshot would reveal nothing more...

 

Without a screenshot to rule out stuff, this is just guess work.

In that case, you might see if creating a new folder with the same name at the source location may allow you to remove it from Quick access.

Did you already see if restarting the computer may clear it?

 

Ok, after recreating the original folder I was able to delete the quick access folder. Still some kind of bug, but at least solved! Thanks for helping!!!
