Not sure what the hell I did, but my Program_Files(x86) folder is showing up twice in my user folder (Where My Pictures, My Documents, etc). And I can't delete it because it's a direct folder to C:/Program_Files. When I try to restore default, it shows my 'Search' folder but it says it cannot move where it already exist.

Any idea on how to fix?

You mean, the Program Files folder under the C: is being redirected to that Program Files folder in your documents ? Can you show us screenshots of that redirection?

sounds like you moved one or more installations to another folder then the defaulted one, even if you didn't make a folder there if you set a installation there it would of made it for you, What's all in that folder anything you can uninstall and re install in the right place

When I try to restore default location, it shows my Search folder, no idea what I did to do that lol. Even if I create a Search folder and try to move it, it still says same thing.

Is there actually any programs installed in these two Program Files (x86) folders, or are they located in the real Program Files (x86) folder on the C: drive ? If so, I'll tell you how to force delete these two.

Yeah it shows everything, it's the actual folder and when I try to delete it, it deletes the actual folder located in the C:\, so I can't delete lol.

Try to open the Windows Explorer via a command prompt that was opened with Admin Rights, to see if it let you change it's location.

I think my Search folder and Programs Folder got swapped somehow. Because the Program_Files folder in the C:\ has a little magnifying glass on it, but the other 2 folders don't.

Also could you elaborate a little more on how to do this?

Simply right-click on the command prompt, select Run as Admin then enter start . and press Enter.

Oh yeah I know that lol, but not sure how to move a folder using CMD.

And here's a picture of my C:\ so you can get an idea.

I ment it doesn't allow me to move it because it's already at it's location. When I open it, it opens as C:\Program_Files, not C:\Users\etc\etc.

It's like a Ghost folder, can't delete, move or anything without messing with the default C:\ folder lol.

Is it the exact same message when you try to relocate the one in C: ? Also, I want you to use that Admin Windows Explorer to do the operation that was failing earlier, where you had "Access Denied".

Even if I type the direct path to move it, it says path doesn't exist. I'm trying to move the folder to the same location.
