Too much information
I am an elderly user who was formerly comfortable with low level PC usage, as in documents and drawings in MSWord.
with the progression of computer capability i suffer from information overload, too many options and features valuable to younger users.
in particular, File Manager repeats file access from a number of perspectives, as in My PC, Quick access, recently used, Icloud, etc. Many of the directories are using the same tiles in different context, and many have no content,ie, documents, downloads, pictures with no files.
can I safely delete or perhaps hide the multiple references to produce a simple tree, as in this PC- C: - Johndata(my documents)? regards John
