    why is my win 11 explorer/ documents/folders/delete and move not working

    document folders win 11

    On my previous win 10 computer I had 8 external drives attached, I redirected the DOCUMENT folder to a folder on one of these externals (to save space on my main drive c:. drive,) That computer "died"; I bought a new win 11 and attached all the external drives to it--win 11 recognized lots of my old settings including my document redirection, BUT there are now lots of document* folders scattered among my other externals. I want ONE single document folder for all my saved pdfs.

    *some folders seem to duplicate data in other folders...too much clutter.

    HELP!
