Fixing Disk Issues

A few years back I installed a new HD on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) and ever since there has been weirdness in the Finder. For example, my applications got moved into the new HD folder or something, I don't really know.

Programs work fine but the layout of my files and programs seems odd.

When I recently created a new user login for a friend, the folder and file setup seems fine. So how can I "reset" the folders organization under my login OR migrate my current user setup to a new user setup I can use instead?

The MacBook is running High Sierra.

Thanks for any help!

When you create a new user— give that user Admin privileges. You can share between account ie move all your user data over to the new account.

Use it like this for several weeks to test and make sure you have everything—only then it would be safe to delete the old account
