I messed up with documents.

[milounknown77]

So, i changed the documents to be in D:/users/William/documents. But relised that wasn't a good idea becuase game save files and other stuff thinks documents still is under C: drive. So i copied it back but i messed up! Instead of changing it to C:/users/William/documents i changed it without documents at the end. And it ended up making my user folder documents. So now everything in my user folder is in documents. facepalm

Changing the location of the Documents Library is no problem, if you do it correctly. The OS controls where and how things get saved to it.

Moving it back as you did...problem.

Some version of this might assist: (this si for the downloads folder, but might give you a place to start)

I don't think moving it back is a problem. Its just that i forgot documents at the end so documents merged together with users/William

Right.
You left off part of it, resulting in the problem.

Can you go back to "Default"?

Not really. i have to do it manually. By separating document files and other user files. But idk, it seems like windows added files that weren't there before.

Sorry...
I don't know of a clicky clicky fix for this.

Did you do a copy and paste from D to C, or, did you do a move and paste from D to C? Reason for asking: if everything is still in D partition, in the correct folder configuration, you can probably do another copy and paste from D to C. If the EZ way in not in the cards, there is a hard way, a way that will take much time and energy along with tools such as Piriform Recuva, MiniTool Power Data Recovery, 3rd party explorer or maybe Windows explorer may enough. I'm talking about undeleting the D-chain, reconstructing C-chain folder structure, comparing D-chain folders and files to the present C-chain -- you would move folders and files that do not belong in users\[your acct name] into their proper respective folders.

Thank you alot! I will try it. I don't think of any other way really. Documents folder is also my user folder. Its weird.
