I have My Documents folders in two separate drives. What is the best way to merge these folders and be rid of the folder on the F: drive?
There is a lot of duplicate content.

Yeah, that's a lot :oops:
I do have a bad habit of keeping duplicates because I am worried about deleting the one I will need. That's how I got here!
I suspect the Wise app will suggest a lot of work ahead..

Thanks.

You have only one. The one on the left, on H:\
It has a Location tab showing that it is a user folder.
The one on the right, on F:\, just happens to be called My documents but it is not a user folder [it has no Location tab].

I suggest you consider how that one on F:\ came to be called My documents.
Then copy its contents to the folder on H:\ and delete the folder on F:\.


All the best,
Denis
