    How do I delete or move parent folder?


    So, today I was cleaning up my laptop and I tried moving the 3D Objects folder into the Downloads folder through properties. Instead of becoming a child folder like I had hoped, it is now synced with the Downloads folder. I have tried moving it back to be named 3D Objects through properties but to no avail. Now both folders are named 3D Objects but open to my downloads. If there is any way to delete a parent folder like the original 3D Objects or a way to reset the folder back to default to their original use, please let me know! Thank you!

    Hello Logan, and welcome to Ten Forums.

    If you like, using step 2 in Option Two should at least restore the default location of your "3D Objects" folder to back to square one.

    I tried both the restore 3D Objects and the restore Downloads but no changes. The restore files were downloaded in a new dowloads folder in my documents, meaning the original personal Downloads folder is now another 3D Objects folder. Which needs to be corrected because the Downloads folder is important. Thanks so much for your help so far Brink!

    Just to verify, did you restart the computer after merging the .reg files for those folders?

    If so, then please go ahead and post a screenshot showing those two folders and their properties pages showing their "Location" tab.
