Hello everyone, I'll explain what happened. 
I was using Backup and Sync on my PC running Windows 8.1 until I had an incident with some Windows files which got corrupted and I performed a Clean Windows Installation. After the new Windows installation which also is Windows 8.1,  I installed Backup and Sync again and tried to sync the same folder again. After Syncing, I found that in the Computer section of Drive, there were two My Computer (i.e. My Computer & My Computer (1)) folders, containing the same files. What can I do to remove the repeating files and make a single folder i.e. My Computer as it was before?
