How to delete folders from My Computer in Windows 10 step by step
In order to delete these folders, you must have access to the Windows 10 registry. This can be accessed through Cortana and by typing “regedit” in the search box.
Another way is to access by opening Run (Windows + R) and typing "regedit".
It is worth remembering that an administrator account is required to make the changes.
Within the Windows registry editor, navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ MyComputer \ NameSpace \
In here you will see several folders with numbers only. You will have to remove them to make them disappear from My Computer, as shown below:
{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B} - Download Folder {1CF1260C-4DD0-4ebb-811F-33C572699FDE} - Music Folder {A0953C92-50DC-43bf-BE83-3742FED03C9C} - Video Folder16-5316-32 4cb0-BBD7-DFA0ABB5ACCA} - Image folder {A8CDFF1C-4878-43be-B5FD-F8091C1C60D0} - Document folder {B4BFCC3A-DB2C-424C-B029-7FE99A87C641} - Desktop folder
For example, if you want to delete the music folder, right click on the top of the key and click on Delete:
The next time you access My Computer, this folder will no longer be visible.
But keep in mind that this does not change the side of the screen or the team Favorites part. To remove something from Favorites, right-click and click Delete.
Save these keys, as they will be necessary in case you want to add the folders again.
To add them, right click on the NameSpace name and go to New > Password.
Where New Key # 1 appears, copy and paste the keys described above. Just like before, it is just closing and when opening My computer the folder will be visible.
