Downloads file is now my secondary hard drive.

Kilroyyyyy90 · Jun 30, 2015

Earlier today I was trying to move some files over from my SSD to my HDD in an effort to clear up space on the SSD. I moved just the 6 main folders that are always on the local disc by going into the properties of the file and changing the location of them. When i got to the downloads file, i messed up and made it redirect you to the HDD itself and when i went into the properties to fix the problem, it gave me the properties for the Hard Drive. How do I get the downloads file back to normal?

Hi there Kilroyyyyy90,

Even though its not really clear what do you mean by "downloads file back to normal?", I assume that you want to adjust the location of where your downloads go to.

D_Know_WD, what I meant by "downloads file back to normal" was that right now when I click on the file to go to my downloads, it acts as if I clicked on the link to the hard drive in the "My PC" tab of windows explorer, normal would be clicking on the downloads file and taking me to my downloads.

Well, after trying everything i could think of to fix the problem, I decided to go into the properities of the HDD itself and lo and behold, it's location tab was the answer! All i had to do was click "restore default" and that was the end of that.
