I was trying to move how a certain app could be installed on my external drive instead of the C: drive. Now the icon for my external drive shows as the icon for the downloads folder. I've tried to change the icon through properties and that doesn't work. I've formatted the external drive but it still shows the downloads icon. I can't access the downloads folder from "This PC" on my laptop. I have to go through C:/users/XXXX/Downloads when I was able to just go to the downloads folder already.
