I've been reinstalling loads of my games on a clean Windows 8 Pro 64-bit installation. Due to the game folders in All Programs created by these installs being all over the place, I place them all in the Games folder, also in All Programs (and I do not mean Games Explorer, just to be clear!). I did this by renaming the folder from, say, EA\Crysis 3 to Games\Crysis. I'm asked if I want to combine the folder with the existing Games folder, to which I answer yes. Normally, this has always worked and all my games folders are then listed in one Games folder.
Due to a bug with (I presume since it is a clean Windows install) Start8, I am now left with an empty Games folder that can be opened to show Empty but which cannot be deleted or renamed. This folder overrides the true Games folder in %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs (I checked this and it is there with all the various game sub-folders I'd moved there). If I rename the folder in that location to Games Main then it will show in All Programs, also as Games Main. The problem is that the empty Games folder is still there too.
How do I delete this folder and why does it even show in the first place?
Start8 is mostly an outstanding app but it does have some aggravating bugs such as this and the fact that even with only a mere dozen games installed, all Steam ones, it still took 15-45 seconds to populate the Games Explorer menu link. This was instant on Windows 7 even though I had over 100 games in that list. Why can't Start8 replicate the same method of displaying this list as Windows 7?
