I recently decided that I should move my user files from my 250 GB SSD to my 2 TB HDD in order to make more efficient use of my space. I had already done this with my Pictures folder a few years ago. I followed a guide on YouTube in order to perform the relocation.
After right-clicking on the Documents folder in my C: and relocating it into a folder named MyName in E:, the process crashed and would not progress. I paused it and then stopped it in order to restart it. I went back into C: and relocated my Videos folder, as it is much smaller and I assumed that it wouldn't crash. It seemed to go through just fine.
However, upon checking E:, I could see that the MyName folder no longer existed. In its place was the Videos folder, inside of which were my videos, my Pictures folder, and many of the files and folders which were within my Documents folder. However, the Documents folder is also still in C:. I sorted the folders to ensure that no files were duplicated or missing.
However, there is still an issue that I am having. If I have a folder named MyName in E:, it works fine. However, if I move my Videos folder back over to E:, it the MyName folder disappears and all files and folders that were within MyName are suddenly inside of Videos.
Furthermore, attempting to create a new folder in E: named MyName causes my computer to claim it shares its name with Videos and asks if I want to merge them. However, I can call a new folder "Videos" and it will exist without merging, and sorting the files and folders within E: by name causes both folders to be right next to each other.
Moving the Videos folder into C: causes it to act completely normally, but it does retain any files from MyName which were automatically moved inside.
What can I do this fix this issue so that I can properly move my user files?
