Hello,

  I recently upgraded my surface pro to windows 8.1 and am having problems with Skydrive.  I use skydrive to sync files between my surface pro and my other laptop running windows 8.  I noticed that in /users/ME/ I had 2 skydrive folders yesterday: a Skydrive folder and a skydrive.old folder which were both not in sync with my Cloud Skydrive.  It looked like when I clicked on Skydrive from the left favorites pane in windows explorer, it showed my cloud skydrive, and if I clicked on a file it downloaded the file and opened it in the appropriate program.  Since the 2 folders under /users/ME/  were different (and both using large amounts of space) I deleted them.  But now when I click on Skydrive from the favorites pane or in the skydrive app I do not see any of my files, but I could see them still on the skydrive.live.com website, and under PC-settings/Skydrive it has the correct amount of space that I do have available on my skydrive. 


How could I reset Skydrive so that it shows my cloud skydrive in the Skydrive folder in the favorites pane and in the skydrive app?


Thank you,
Scott
