I'm still a little unclear on exactly how I managed to accomplish this feat.
Just did a clean install of 8.1 Pro and was relocating my User\<directory>s to their respective drives as I have done numerous times with 7. I had just pointed Music to the drive where my ~300 GB collection resides. My next "move" was with Downloads.
As I started the process I remember seeing an extra message about moving all the files to the new location. It was going on 1 am sleepy so I just accepted it. Next thing I knew, I had two "Music" directories. One has the usual blue musical note while the other has a blue downward pointing arrow most often reserved for Downloads. However, if I delete a file in one, it is deleted in both directories. Quite depressing, all in all.
My attempts to restore it to its original state have failed.
I have seen several similar posts at this, and other, forum(s), but none are exactly like what I have done. I don't know if I could try running a repair or if I'm either just going to have to live with this or reinstall the whole shooting match.
So, I'm hoping someone can help me un-fubar my directory.
Thanks!
