Engine Shows Music Files In "AppData/Engine DJ"

I’m having a bit of a weird issue here. Engine DJ has picked up a lot of my music files as being in the folder “C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\AIR Music Technology\EnginePrime\Favorites\Music.…”.

Upon further digging, this is just a symbolic link (junction in Windows terms I believe) to my Music Folder. When I remove the link, Engine just re-creates it on startup again. I’m hoping to be able to remove the link and then auto relocate my files to get everything set to the correct path, however I find no mention of marking something as favourites. The most odd part of this is that about 2/3 of my Music doesn’t have this issue, but it’s all in the same folder.

In case anyone else has this issue I figured it out. There’s 2 ways to add music you your collection. One is within engine DJ by navigating to the left side. Going to the system folders and you’ll see it has your music folder at the top or you can browse your drives. The other way is to just open file explorer in windows and drag your files into your collection. That music folder in engine DJ is the issue. It’s the folder that shows as appdata. If you add songs to your collection using the file explorer, then at some point add them with the music folder in engine DJ. It puts it in your collection twice. This is because engine dj see they have different locations. The only fix is to remove all songs in your collection that have the appdata location, or just delete your entire collection and then re-add all the songs you want using fille explore. This is basically a bug and they need to fix it.
