Lightroom creating year 'subfolder'

Community Beginner ,
Apr 08, 2017 Apr 08, 2017

For some reason Lightroom has started to create a 2017 subfolder inside of my 2017 folder- meaning that everytime I now add photos it's adding them to a subfolder called '2017' within the 2017 folder. Can't figure out why on earth it is doing this and how to fix it... any help appreciated! (See image below).Screen Shot 2017-04-08 at 17.56.43.png

It's happening because you have the wrong folder set as the destination folder, You have got the 2017 folder selected and you have chosen to organise by date using a yyyy/yyyy-mm-dd system, and that directs Lightroom to create a dated folder structure of, in your example, first a 2017 year folder and then 2017-03-18 and 2017-04-08 sub-folders....all under your selected 2017 folder. Hence you'll get a new 2017 folder under the existing 2017 folder.

The solution is simple....change the target folde
