    Recovery Drive Help!

    Sorry the title is in all caps, obnoxious but I'm in kind of a tiffy.

    I'm really annoyed at having extra folders lying around so I delete them. To be specific, the favorites folder under the C drive. It annoys me to NO END that it's there and that I can never completely get rid of it.

    So I was playing around with it and I decided to move it to the Recovery (D:\) drive. REALLY REALLY BAD IDEA. Now, instead of the Favorites folder being under the user's folder, I have the Recovery Drive there and I CAN'T GET RID OF IT.

    I'm really running out of ideas and my best bet is that I have to reinstall the entire operating system and have to backup all 120GB of stuff I already have on the computer.

    If anybody has ANY suggestions on what to do, I'll be extremely, extremely grateful. I'm really on wits end here.



    EDIT----
    So here's the thing. This is what I get when I click on "Computer" on the start menu:





    This is what I get when I click on "Amy" (administrator and only account on computer) on the start menu:









    And a comparison of the "two" recovery drives:









    So is there a duplicate Recovery drive under my C drive? Or is it just a shortcut that I can't get rid of (but really want to because it's driving the OCD in me CRAZY)?

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for any help!
