Windows 10: " This is a public community. ".....or is it ?

Hello ,i am just re-entered the " community thing " after a long hiatus, just cruising different areas reading y'alls posts, including anything the "community watch/elders" post to help anyone with issues ...and to see if what is posted is helpful , .First ,,i mean "no offense" to anyone , and what i post just is what i observe in the community and my ownfeelingson whatever is interesting in the community . I am not , a Conspirator , nor Incite others or a Disgruntle Community Activist . I am Joe Public very low key person that only offers feedback when asked in the Insider Program and only if i truly understand the issue. In the community , if i can assist i will , or make a public comment on issues, discussions etc based on my belief , which is the basis for this post . I wrote my first post last week after a long time and it was on general info on the progress of Microsofts Edge failing Browser has improved and my beliefs on what Windows did to set it right . The post was Deleted , and i was inform it was a possible violation of the Code of Conduct policy , due to the Topic was improper ? This is a public community ? After two weeks of browsing Posts , i notice more than normal active conflict between the community and moderators and sum accusations were way off scope of regular complaints .

So Public Community... or Gated ??? Be Well people !!

Duplicate Public Folders

Hope this helps someone identify the problem.

• Q: What happens when you delete the duplicate folders?
• A: Nothing. They're successfully deleted.

• Q: Does it happen to all of your folders or only those with pictures?
  • A: Only the default Public Folders (Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos).
  • A: All of the Public Folders have customized folder icons.
  • A: The above image shows yellow, empty folder icons (duplicates).

• Q: Any steps you've tried to troubleshoot this issue?
  • Actually, this has been a problem since Windows 7.
  • What I noticed then is that certain Windows programs created the duplicates:
    • Windows Media Player (stopped using)
    • Internet Explorer (stopped using)
    • Plus others, which I can't recall.
  • Only certain programs for Windows 10, as well:
    • Microsoft Edge (don't use it often)
      
    • Groove Music (never intentionally use it)
      
    • Plus others, which I haven't tracked.
      • I only notice it when I go to Public Folders.
      • By then, I've long since forgotten what was accessed.
  • I've googled for answers but most of those only address
    moving the Public Folders to another Drive.
