System folders (Downloads, etc.) with blank names

Issue

This Content is from SuperUser. Question asked by Scaramouche

For some reason I have duplicates of my “Downloads”, “Documents” and etc. system folders in “This PC” that have blank names and are inusable. Clicking on them does nothing and if I choose “Properties” from their right-click context menus this is the result.

Screenshot

There are no duplicate values in the “HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerUser Shell Folders” key.

I.e. there is only one value for the “Downloads” folder.

EDIT:

My problem is I wish to remove these folders with blank names.
