I have spent hours and hours of fruitless time reading about, and experimenting with annoying system folders in Win10 and Win11. Can anyone provide a way of eliminating them? Most annoying are Music, Pictures, and Videos. Thanks.

Eliminate them from the Folder Tree.

I have spent hours researching posts given by Google. No solution.

Just RIGHT-CLICKED on Documents, Music, Pictures ... and found the option "SHOW IN FOLDER TREE" - deactivated, and those folders didn't show anymore...

Yep, seems (<-SEEMS) to be where I found (RIGHT-CLICK) the option "SHOW IN FOLDER TREE".

I am amazed - but that doesn't help, does it?

Need help eliminating annoying system folders
