The Right-Click "Send to" Option is Missing From My Music Partition

Thanks for the screenshots.

You have Music in Libraries but not in "This PC" so you won't be able to see a Location tab. I don't know how to get Music into the "This PC" list.

Mr.X has a Path explanation. My Music folder path is...

D:\My_files\Users\Brian\Music

When I know both of your paths I can give you a Robocopy batch file which will make copying Music to an external HD a one click job. Robocopy might have to copy all your Music files on the first run but on subsequent runs it only copies changed files. So that could be a one minute job.

 

Okay, so what do I do next? Although, I would think that you would know better than I do. However, I did look up a few things, but they really didn't help:

https://windowsreport.com/windows-m... the Music Library,the context menu as below.

 

Your mistake is that Send To is for theashortcut or open with the selected program, but not for moving or copying.
In order to move or copy, you need to use Windows functions "Move to folder" or "Copy to folder".
But you probably know that this function still exists in Windows until today, but it is not in the right-click menu by default. If you want it there, starting with Windows 7 you have to put it there yourself. It's very simple and several tutorials are also available if to use search.
Do you want to do this? It's your choice.
Otherwise, you can get the same result as "Move to folder" by dragging or using the "Cut" function.

 

I think your Music library is corrupted.

What are your paths? We can work around the corruption.

 

Sorry, but I'm going to have to look up some youtube videos about this and get back to you because this is like Greek to me. And unfortunately, I've never had a formal education in computers and what I do know is from trial and error and watching videos and reading help sites such as this.

 

Open "This PC" and keep double clicking until you are in the Music folder. The path will be in the Explorer address bar. Copy/paste it. For example...

D:\My_files\Storage\Keep\H to N\M\Missing drives CD drive letters gone\cdgon\Music

 

After I open This PC and double click, all it does is toggle back and forth like in these images:

 

I think your Music folder (or whatever you named it) is in the D: drive. So double click the D: drive. Can you see it or is it inside another folder?

 

It just toggles back and forth showing my music folders (i.e. artist names) on the far left pane and the pane to the right of that. So, I guess representing the Music and the Music (2) folders. But I'm not sure what I am looking for.

 

It's called Extra Storage (D).

 

I don't think that I clicked on Properties for the external HD, but here it is if this makes any difference:

 

It's not Properties. Double click G: drive and find the backup folder. The path will be in the Address bar.

I'll have to come back to this in a week or so because my head is too cluttered with a lot of other stuff that I have to do and can't really focus on this. However, I would like to mention that I decided to delete one of my Music folders [actually Music (2) folder] and I noticed when I clicked on my my remaining Music folder and clicked on the subfolders (i.e. the artists' names), everything was empty. Everything, all music files. However, the strange thing about this is that my Windows Media Player can still play music.

Additionally, I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to retrieve content from the emptied Recycled Bin, since I had read at one time that you could do that. However, I also recently read that once you empty your Recycle Bin, the content is gone forever. But on a positive note, I did back up my music files with my external hard drive.
