Default problem deleting a folder?

I have home premium and in my name folder there is that Link folder...what
happened is I accidently copied that folder into the Music folder...and when
I try to delete that Link folder in the Music folder it deletes all of the
Link folders including the original one...how can I delete the copied Link
folder without deleting the original? Please help...

Derek,

You may have "moved" the Links folder inside the Music folder.
Open Windows Explorer (with navigation pane enabled), and browse to your Music folder
Select "Links", and drag it to your user account folder (that is here C:\Users\{username})

Note that your user account folder will be shown in the left pane / Navigation bar.
