Remove a folder from the Windows 10 library

Post , Microsoft introduced Libraries, a great feature of Explorer that lets you group multiple folders together in a single view, even if they're on different volumes or drives.

Windows

Searching through libraries is also very fast because Windows indexes all the locations that are included in a library. Today, we'll see how to remove an included folder from a Windows 10 library

By default, Windows 10 comes with the following libraries:

  • Album ς
  • Saved images
  • Videos:
  • Έγγραφα
  • Pictures
  • Music

Note: If the “Libraries” folder is not visible in “”, Refer to the article: Enable libraries in Windows 10 Explorer

Windows 10 allows you to add up to 50 locations in a library. You can add a local drive to a library, a USB drive, an SD card (starting with Windows 8.1), or a network location. You also cannot add a DVD drive. These are limitations by design.

Removing a folder from a library does not delete files and subfolders. Its contents will remain unchanged, but will no longer appear in the library.
