Downloads folder problem when moving from SSD to HDD

I recently got a new laptops (MSI GS70) which has 2 storage drives, a 256gb SSD and a 1tb HDD. As I was new to this concept, I derped hard when I tried to move my "downloads" folder from my SSD (where my OS is installed) to my HDD; I copied it to D:/User. When I did this, instead of placing the "Downloads folder" inside of that directory, it turned that directory into the downloads folder. I was then able t successfully copy other folders to my HDD by placing them in D:/User/Documents, etc. How should I go about fixing this? When I try to do the 'Restore Default' option on my D:/ drive an error comes up saying: "Failed to build the list of regular subdirectories under "D:/System Volume Information". Access is denied."
Thank you

Just moving downloads folder is not going to change path to it. You have to point browser to that folder as default downloads folder.
For instance, I use Firefox for browsing and just have it set to E:/ Downloads folder that I made in advance. Something like that has to be set in all browser or other programs.

Yeah I moved it by going properties; location; move, and now when I download something it comes up in D:/User. How can I make the default download folder directory D:/User/Downloads?

Which browser ? It has to be a setting in it.

Not the browser downloads location, the location of the "Downloads" user data folder (sorry for confusion).
