I've had my machine for quite some time now, and I just now got my hard drive set up for Windows backup. When I go to the root of a hard drive, not just my backup HDD, but every external and internal hard drive (other than the bootable), there will be an empty folder labeled, "Music." I have no idea where this came from, or why I don't have permissions to delete it. I am the administrator of the machine, and have full access to the root and subfolders.

I used cmd with elevated privileges to delete the folder off one drive at some point, but came back as soon as Windows Backup was ran. I'm at a loss, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Did, you, by any chance, backup your music files?

On a different computer, yes, but that computer is long gone. And if I did include music in the backup, wouldn't the folder have content? There's one folder inside of the "Music" folder, and it's named "CD's."

try disableing windows backup, deleting it, and turning it back on, maybe that'll do the trick
