Naming the external drive folder same as a file folder

Question

OK. I admit I'm stupid. I'm new to DiskXtender and when setting up an extended drive yesterday I named the extended drive folder the same as a top level folder on the disk drive. Obviously, the only folder showing now is the one folder. I want to remove the extended drive (media is already removed) but I am afraid that if I delete the extended drive folder, my real folder will also disappear. By the way, I disabled anything from happening on the system so no files are being moved, purged, etc.

PS -- after you remove the media, media groups, and media folder you can delete the extended drive. Deleting the extended drive does not remove any files/folders.The only thing would be is if you moved (migrated) any files first -- you would want to use Compact to move those back before removing your media.

Maybe I am missing something -- but do you don't name your Extended drive. You just create an extended drive and point to the Drive letter.Do mean you named your 'Media Folder'? That SHOULD be the top folder.If you have:E:\TopFolderE:\TopFolder\Folder1E:\TopFolder\Folder2E:\TopFolder\Folder3And you want to migrate files from Folder1,2,3 -- then when you create your Extended Drive and it asks you if you want to create a Media folder (say yes) and select E:\TopFolder -- that will get all the subfolders.
