Junction with Dropbox

Had to relink my Dropbox after some problems and realized that my old Dropbox folder is "My Dropbox" and the new is "Dropbox". I went ahead and renamed the folder so I wouldn't have to download all of my files over and it merged nicely, taking forever to index though.

The problem now is that tons of program configurations and shortcuts are broken after the rename so I need to create a junction. However, this is what happens:

Code:

C:\>mklink /J "C:\Users\Craig\My Dropbox" "C:\Users\Craig\Dropbox"
Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

What can I do?

 

Delete the folder "c:\users\craig\my dropbox" (if empty)

Then rerun your command.

 

That directory no longer exists, only the "Dropbox" directory. I tried reversing the directories and that still didn't work.

 

I edited my post, right after, showing that it can work.

Thanks man, the "My Dropbox" folder actually still exist but was hidden for some reason. Appreciate it.

 

No problem, glad I could help. Another command that is useful: attrib
