    Videos folder/library appears twice


    The Videos folder/library appears twice in Explorer. Once in This PC, as a system folder - empty.Once in Quick Access because I set it that way as a Library, with the other folders I included.Even better, the empty Videos folder appears in the Videos library. Nothing I can to to control this - I didn't add this to the library. This makes no sense to me. I would like the real library to appear in This PC, or at least the useless system folder to disappear. Suggestions, please??thx,

    :)

    To Include folders using Manage Library Tools, we suggest that you perform the steps below:

    • In File Explorer, select or open a library (ex: Videos) you want to include a folder or drive to.
    • Click on the Library Tools Manage tab, and click on the Manage library button in the ribbon.
    • Click on the Add button
    • Browse to and select a folder or drive that you want to include in this library, and click on the Include folder button.

    Keep us updated with the result.

    Picture User Folder vs Library Picture Folder / Add to User folder

    Hi,



    Form the issue description, I realize that you are trying to view your pictures in the default pictures library. To do so, you have to change the location of the folder that contains your pictures to the default pictures library folder.



    To view your pictures in the default pictures library, I suggest you to follow the steps below.




    • Right-click on the default Picture folder
      and click on Properties.

    • Navigate to Location tab.

    • Click on Move…. and select the folder that contains your pictures and click on
      Apply and then click on Ok.


    Hope the information helps. Kindly write back to us for further information on Windows. We will be happy to assist you.



    Thank you.

    Videos folder/library appears twice

    library items appearing

    Thanks Keith, just to be clear, I am not referring to the system folders, meaning the actual Pictures and Music folders themselves.

    I made a Library so it can contain a few folders of various files so they are collected and list all in one folder. For some reason though, this Library folder (containing shortcuts to all the actual folders) also contains a Music, Pictures, Download folders
    also. I can delete them so they do not appear in my library, so just the folders I want appear, but it seems they appear back there again (perhaps after a restart or some other thing.)

    Is this what you thought I was saying?

    I did not think they were taking up space, since they are just shortcuts of the actual folders, but I did not want them to appear in the library I had made. I presume that they are programmed to appear if you delete them. Not sure why this would be, since
    they are listing in various other places anyway.
