    Undo user folder location change/ failed to build regular subdirectories under...


    Hello:


    I wanted to move my Downloads folder to my D disk because I was running out of storage on my C disk. I had already moved my Documents and Pictures folders there: Undo user folder location change/ failed to build regular subdirectories under... 7ba9dee6-f5ae-4af8-88b8-73f74df5a4a3?upload=true.png


    However, when I was changing the file location, I made a mistake, and instead of moving to D:\ Users\myname\Downloads, it]s been moved to the D without any sub folders:

    Undo user folder location change/ failed to build regular subdirectories under... 322372d9-4499-45b4-885e-11fee57d3003?upload=true.png




    I'm trying to move this back to it's default location, then I get this error Undo user folder location change/ failed to build regular subdirectories under... ba794daf-3519-4c69-b959-b8bb6bdad3b0?upload=true.png


    I know I messed up when moving the folder. Please help me with this situation.... how can I fix/undo this?? will the folder locations be set to default if I reset my PC? I have a lot apps installed so I don't want to try that too soon

    :)

    Failed to build the list of regular subdirectories

    I am trying to restore my Documents to its default location from one of the volumes and getting this when I hit "Restore Default".

    Failed to build the list of regular subdirectories under "I:\System Volume Information".
    Access is defied.

    It is a permissions thing, but when I check under "Your info", it says "Local account / administrator".
    Why is everything so complicated and confusing under Win10?

    Undo user folder location change/ failed to build regular subdirectories under...

    Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

    No tried that.

    Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

    any more suggestions
