Where Did My PowerShell Modules Go?

Asked By SunnyDaze42 On

Hey everyone! I'm back with a follow-up from my last post. I'm having issues with my PowerShell modules folder for my current user. It seems like the folder isn't showing up in my OneDrive documents for Windows PowerShell, which is pretty odd. Is there any way I can get those modules back without having to reset my entire computer? I'd really appreciate your help!

I think I can help you out! Since you mentioned using PowerShell 5 and 7, keep in mind that if you install modules as admin, they'll usually land in the C:Program FilesPowerShellmodules folder. But if you use the -currentuser parameter, they should go into your Documents folder under WindowsPowerShell for version 5.1, and Powershell for version 7.x. You can check where your modules are by running this command: `$env:PSModulePath -split ';'`. It'll show you the directories containing your modules. Personally, I always install modules as an admin to keep everything organized.

Unfortunately, if you can't find your modules, there's not really a special place they'll just show up if they've gone missing. It's pretty frustrating, I know!

Since you're using OneDrive, don't forget to check if you have the `windows PowerShell` and `powershell` folders set to be 'always available offline'. That can help ensure your modules are synced properly.
