    Two HD - C is for OS and programs but still shows Libraries - can I delete them?


    So my Subject line pretty much explains this but I'll elaborate.


    My computer has two drives. The C drive is SSD and has the OS and my programs. The E drive is a regular HD and this is where I store all my stuff.


    The C drive still shows a User with library folders that are empty. Even my storage drive has that same user with empty library folders. The E drive also has the User that is me - with the library folders and my stuff.


    Can I delete the folders I'm not using?

    :)

    Two HD - C is for OS and programs but still shows Libraries - can I delete them?

    Folder in library does not exist, cannot delete library folder

    Thanks for the replies. Here's my update.

    ArazelEternal: I ran SFC, DISM and CHKDSK on both the C & D drives. No problems reported and the folder remains in my Libraries Folder.
    Brink: Yes, I can turn off the Libraries folder in the backup set but that doesn't fix the problem of the non-existent folder remaining in the library. That's the folder I'm trying to remove. The images show what I'm seeing in the folders listing of File Explorer. The first image shows the message that pops up when I first clink on the Pictures folder that's highlighted. The second image is what I see when I right click and choose properties. As you can see in the D: drive listing, there is no Documents folder there.
