I messed up moving Documents folder location to D:\

I messed up trying to move my Documents folder location to my D:\ data partition.

I was following this tutorial, but not carefully enough: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...dows-10-a.html

I didn't create a new Documents folder on the D:\ partition first, as the tutorial says to do. I clicked on "Move..." and selected the D:\ partition itself for the new location.

Now, in the menu on the left in File Explorer:

* Under Quick Access, it no longer shows a Documents folder, instead it says D:\ and has a document icon.

* Under my User Profile, it no longer shows a Documents folder, instead it has the name of my D:\ partition and the hard drive icon.

* If I click on my D:\ drive label under This PC, it shows the empty My Bluetooth folder that should be in the Documents folder.

I then tried making a Documents folder on the D:\ drive and moving it again, but I get the error: The folder can't be moved here. Can't redirect a parent into a child. The specified path is invalid."

How do I undo this and try again? I'm going to ask before I make it worse. I didn't have any documents in the folder yet.

I hope this is clear. Thank you for your time.

If it helps, I made a screenshot of the "User Shell Folders" registry page. You can see where it has D:\ in two locations and no Documents.

I use Macrium Reflect, guys. This is a new system and I was still working my way through setting it up to my liking before doing the backup. I haven't lost any data.

There must be a way to change it back.

OK, it looks like this is solved! There's two ways to correct this mistake.

A) In my situation, I right-clicked on "D:" under Quick Access (which was suppose to be Documents). Then, Properties > Location > enter "C:\Users\Me\Documents". Click Apply. It will ask if you want to move stuff. SAY NO otherwise you will get one of those errors.

After a restart, it was correct. The content that was in my original Documents folder was still on the D drive. Do with it what you want. Now I can start over and do it again properly.

B) Option #1 in the link Eagle51 gave does not work in this situation. But option #2 will work if followed carefully, judging by a number of Solved threads regarding this issue on various forums.

I was heading to do Option #2 when I discovered my system was fixed from when I did A) yesterday. I just hadn't completed it with a reboot.

I confirmed it by looking at the registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders.

Thank you so much to Eagle51 for the link, and Brink for the tutorial and reg file.

Thanks also to dalchina, Wiley Coyote and Ztrucker for your input.
