Hello,
I wanted to move the libraries from my C hard drive to the D hard drive, but instead of setting the new location to D:\Images, I mistakenly set it to D:\ only. I did the same thing with the Music library, and now I have 2 Music libraries in the side panel (under This PC), one with a music note and the other with the Images icon.
The problem is that now, whenever I try to change the location of one of the 2 libraries (to D:\Music for example), both locations are modified together, so I either have 2 Music or 2 Images, but I can't set different locations.
By restoring the libraries to default, I do have an Image library and a Music library in the subfolders of Libraries in the side panel of the explorer, but under This PC, I still have 2 Music (or 2 Images).
How can I fix this since it's neither possible to Rename nor to Delete the subdirectories under This PC?
Thank you

Hello,
Restore the default locations of the Music and Pictures folders
Follow this procedure
Use .bat files
Restart the PC for the changes
.bat files
-Folder Music
-Folder Pictures
If you have others, take them from the list
Restart the PC each time
Move a library
Move the libraries of documents, images, music, and videos to another hard drive or partition here
First, create a restore point
Enable system protection if not done, like this
See you later
