    That should be "Pictures" not "Photos"

    I had the same issue.
    I opened OneDrive and deleted the Camera Roll folder under photos.
    Seems to have resolved issue on Win 10 Libraries

    Is there any way to delete these system folders.

    I don't use them, and I never will. If I delete them though, they are simply re-created.

    Thanks
    Not sure if you got your answer but I found a way. The Photos application is built in and this is what re-installs those two folders. I don't use it so I deleted the application. To do so, follow this link and you'll have all the info you needed.

    P.S. I subscribed to this forum so I could share the knowledge.
    All the best!

    I suppose you could navigate to C:\Users\[your moniker]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries and delete the two libraries in question and the pertaining folders in other locations, but, they'll probably reappear after a restart.
    I actually did this and rebooted. They did not come back.
    Personally I think it's silly to have "Camera Roll" and "Saved Pictures" libraries when you could just have folders within the already existing "Pictures" library...
    Edit: They eventually did come back.

    Move to OneDrive


    If you are sure you want to get rid of them, you can move them to OneDrive (where they cannot be found for some reason). Right click on the folder, select properties, go to the location tab, press move and select OneDrive. A few warning messages will appear. Click ok, and they should be moved and hidden (again, OneDrive does not show them for an unidentified reason). Make sure you no longer want them before doing this.

    I deleted one drive hopping they will disappear; I can not change the location of a Libary though

    As these are system folders, they have a location tab... . Why not use the Location Tab to change the location to somewhere that does not annoy you.

    Right-click the offending folder, select a new path where you can live with the folder (somewhere you won't see it, eg create a System Junk folder in your user folder). Click OK, "Yes" for the folder to be created if it does not exist there, "Yes" for contents to be moved. Done.

    ... Or, you could stuff both folders in a blank/nameless folder, just in case!
    That way, when you do sync your new Windows Phone, the items will show up!
