Trying to access a folder but keep getting a “Location is not available” error? Your folder may have been moved or deleted, or there’s another issue preventing you from opening your folder. We’ll show you a variety of ways to get around this problem on your Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC.
The Folder Might Have Been Deleted or Moved
It’s possible the folder you’re trying to access has been deleted or moved. In this case, you can’t access it, and Windows will display an error message.
If you’re trying to use a shortcut to a folder, navigate to the actual folder path and see if the folder exists. If you don’t find the folder at its original location, look around and see if you can find it. The Windows search function will be very helpful here, especially if you don’t know where the folder was originally located.
