I have two drives on my laptop. I prefer to store all documents, downloads, etc., on the D drive and keep C for programs after installing Windows 10. The first step is to change the location of my libraries by right-clicking in Windows Explorer, selecting Properties, then Location, and moving it to D: This should redirect my Documents folder there. Unfortunately, I accidentally set the move location to D: instead of D:\Documents. Now every time I open Documents, it takes me to the D drive. I want it to point to D:\Documents again, but when I try to move it once more, the system says it’s not a valid location. I think this is because Documents is now mapped to the entire hard drive and can’t be moved into a folder. How can I fix this situation?

I attempted to move files to the C drive and then back to the D:/documents folder.
