Hi,

 

I changed the download folder from C drive to another Drive. Now since I deleted

this drive Windows is confused and doesn't let me do anything with this linked folder

cause the path is deletet...The moment I click on it a Warning Pops up.

 

How can I force to delet it?

 

Cheers

well its in german so I can't copy paste it.

 

But basically that the path has been lost (which is logical, cause I reformatted th drive) and therefore 

it cannot be opened. But it's weird that it's so difficult to just delete the link..

 

So any ideas?

This folder is your Download folder, but missing the ini config file or the ini config file name has been changed.

Folder in 'This PC' can't be removed (well they can via the registry), but you can't remove it by hitting the delete key. This folder is the name if you look at Personal Folder.

So you need to redefine a new location for the Download folder. To do this, right-click on it, select Properties, and check the Location tab.
