SOLVED Links with an empty target field

[JohnHerbster]

I have lots of links after my Windows 10 installation that appear to go nowhere (i.e. Properties shows the the target to be blank). For example File Explorer shows a link "This PC > Pictures > Local Settings" with an empty target field. May these be deleted?

I would think so.
If they are generally worthless (as in non-functional) then I don't see why not.
It sort of sounds like you may have previously chose a new "open in" location for "File Explorer" using something like this http://www.howtogeek.com/140437/change-the-default-file-explorer-startup-folder-in-windows-8/

I had a few bad links with Win7 and I never bothered to notice that the target of these links was empty.
