I had been using Elements Organizer on my laptop with pictures stored an external HD.  I have since installed a 1T ssd in the laptop and want to move the pictures to the SSD.  I also use Ond=e Drive and would like to have them backed up there.  I backed up with a Full Backup and wanted to restore to my C: drive.  I chose the Pictures folder and Camera roll.  Not the files ocation seems conveluted and shows as, "C:\users\bille\onedrive\pictures\cameraroll\users\bille\onedrive\elements online\1948 04 01"  did I choose the wrong location to REstore or perhaps I should not have chosen to retain file structure.  I would like to simplify things. can yo sugges how i can correct this?  Thank you

Hi,

 

If you want everyting to be inside Parent folder, you will have to de-select 'Restore Original Folder structure', while doing Restore.

 

Thanks!

Thanks, now I have restored everything a few times. I probably have files
all over the place that aren’t used. Is there a way to find them and delete
them? I don’t want to delete what is needed

I am in a similar situation. After a restore I have media file folders all over the place and would like to get rid of all of them that are not needed.
