J River duplicate music files, where are they?

Running J River on my PC. I have all my music on an external hard drive D:\. For some reason all my music is now duplicated in a drive E:\
I dont have an E drive and cannot locate where these files are. I would like to delete the E:\ folder files but I have no idea where they are. And I certainly want to make sure i dont delete the D:/ files.
Any help on this would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks in advance, John

Your PC treats partitions the same way as it does drives. So, if you have 1 hard drive with 2 partitions, your computer will treat them as 2 separate drives. Either you have partitions on one, or both of your hard drives that you may not be aware of, or one of your applications created a virtual drive for some reason.

I'm guessing that in your case, the extra/virtual partition is used for meta data (Tags), and not for the actual music files themselves.

If you want to see what's on your drives/partitions, the easiest way is to use a more powerful file manager than the one that comes with Windows. There's plenty of free ones you can download.
