So I recently did my upgrade from windows 7 to windows 10. I noticed my my C: drive (which is my ssd) was running low on space, so in an effort to make sure that I don't accidentally run out of space, I went to change the My Documents folder and the My Music Folder so they would only use storage from my F drive. I went to properties, location and then changed the path to the F drive. However this only ended up only turning the folders into a "clone" of my original F drive and now I am confused on how to turn them back into system files. Whenever I go back to change the path it tells me that my access had been denied. Even when change the files permissions so that I have full control over it, it still tells me my access has been denied.

Im sorry if this is poorly worded I'm having trouble describing my dilemma so I made some pictures to help.

I think, just like with Win 8.1, you needed to make subfolders under the root of F.
Then point those Library folders at those new subfolders.

As soon as my PC finishes updating to Win 10, I'm going to investigate this.
And as with Win 8.1, I'm unsure of an easy way how to turn it back.

Do you think I should reset my PC and start all over again? I guess it wouldn't be too much of a hassle. Do you know if Ninite is trustworthy or not?
