CC to external drive/Junction file issue.

So I made a junction file about a month ago to put
my CC into an external drive and eventually moved
it to my D drive because it wasn't working as
expected due to issues with said external drive-
now I want to create a new junction file to link my
mods folder to the folder in the D drive BUT when I
do the command in command prompt, even as
administrator, it tells me "cannot create a file when
that file already exists."... I've deleted the game and
reinstalled it, the external drive is no longer
connected to my computer... does anyone know
how I can fix this issue ? I've looked all over for an answer and nothing works.

    @MarzReignsTTV  The error you're seeing likely means that your computer already has a folder of the same name and in the same location as the junction you're trying to create.  So wherever the junction is supposed to go, move or remove the folder (or junction, for that matter) that's already there, and you should be fine.

    If you still can't get past this step, please let me know which folder you're trying to redirect, and to where, and what's in each of those locations.
