Respected team,

User Profile folder is missing and when I click on C:\ Users, it will land as below screenshot 1.

I have only one User Profile i.e. C:\Users\GubbiGrishma, refer screenshot 2

I don't see that unless I type in above in address bar

any reason or any course of action to reset it, by the way I don't see Pictures folder at all.




Screenshot 1


Screenshot 2

It's in the middle of your first screenshot. I'm guessing you copied a bunch of folders to C:\Users

Hi @neemobeer
Thank you so much guiding through.... my brother had changed the default location of the Document, Pictures and Desktop, which I have now restored those to default. However, I am not able to move Documents into User Folder. I see two documents now.

That’s probably the Documents Library. You’ll have to check the properties for the Library too

EDIT
I'd be looking at a quick image (Macrium Reflect and/or AOMEI Backupper) before doing any more tinkering.
