    How to Remove Included Folder from Library in Windows 10


    Libraries gather folders that are stored in different locations so you can browse them in one place. You can add or remove folders and drives to be included in a library as you like.

    This tutorial will show you how to remove an included folder from a library for your account in Windows 10.

    *note Removing an included folder from a library does not delete the folder or the contents of the folder.

  3. Can't Remove C:\users\<my name>\Documents Folder From The Documents Library

    Hello everyone.

    Currently, the Documents Library on my Windows 10 machine includes the Documents folder that I created on the D drive as well as the Documents folder on the C drive. I want to remove C:\users\<my name>\Documents from the Documents Library so that the Documents
    Library only includes the folder that I created on the D drive. The system let's me do that, but C:\users\<my name>\Documents always gets added back to the Documents library when I reboot the machine.

    I was able to successfully remove the C Drive folders for Videos, Pictures and Music from their respective libraries. They do not get added back to the libraries when I reboot. Only C:\users\<my name>\Documents gets added back.

    Can someone tell how to permanently remove C:\users\<my name>\Documents from the Documents library and keep it from getting added back?

    Remove Included Folder from Library in Windows 10

    Hello 10TonTek, *Smile

    What folders keep automatically being included in the library(ies)?

    If this folder is from a 3rd party program (ex: save folder for program), the program itself may be adding it back.

    My first issue was finding libraries, unlike yours it is not visible, and i had to "find it", and have pinned it in quick access.

    Having found it I was hoping it would solve this problem:

    As you can see a number of my Libraries have been duplicated after update to FCU. The "real" ones are on my "D" drive, but FCU created a duplicate set of some in the "User" area of the "C" drive, however as you can see there is no "location" tab to move them.

    Question can I just delete these additional Libraries?
