Solved How do I restore library settings back to default?

[drb193]

I was messing around with my libraries today, and after removing and adding a few things, my pictures and music library both look different than they used to. I have provided examples to show exactly what I mean.

How it used to look:

How it looks now:

As you can see, there is now a useless dropdown menu that clutters the screen. I have tried checking the settings and restoring the library settings to default, but I can't get my libraries looking like regular folders again.

Hello DRB, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Do not drag that folder into your user folder. If you do, you will mess up the symbolic links for them.

There's nothing wrong with them other than you having their view setting not to what you wanted.

Instead, you can click on Group by -> (none) to not have your library grouped into that view.

Anytime. Yeah, those user folders are temperamental about being moved.

Thank you so much! It worked perfectly. I included a picture of exactly where the button is in case anyone has trouble locating it.
