    Hey guys,

    I accidentally dragged and dropped my Documents folder into my Downloads folder and now whenever I delete it just appears again a few seconds later. It contains the exact same files as the original Documents folder so it's basically just a copy...

    Any ideas on how to remove it from there permanently?
