On your PC:

Are they all embedded? IOW: folders-within-folders? If so, delete the head folder - see if this stops.


If that does not work, or is N/A, then:

  1. Log Out of iCloud on your PC
  2. Restart your PC
  3. Log back in to iCloud

Everything should re-associate

If the above does not work...

A Registry Problem:

I'd say then that it's probably a problem with the Registry. But, don't fool around with the Registry, if you do not know what you are doing.


I strongly recommend that you take this PC into a Service Company (preferably a Retailer), and have this looked at.
