Welcome to Microsoft Community.
I understand that the files in a specific folder path are showing up as music information when viewed in the folder, and you would like to change them to display as normal file information.
To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:Find the parent path of the affected folder.Right-click on the folder and select "Properties."Click on the "Customize" tab.Under the "Optimize this folder for" section, select "General items" and click "OK."If this doesn't work, please go back to the parent folder and repeat the process, while making sure to uncheck the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders, and files" option.Please see the attached images for a visual reference of the desired outcome.
If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.
