I moved Soundpools moved and now no Loops are shown for any soundpools

I had to move my Magix Soundpools to a an alternative internal drive (for space considerations). I have scanned the new location to display these moved soundpools, but when I click on any of them in MM, no loops are available or displayed. How do I fix this?

I did, of course, adjust the Soundpool location in Settings.

I don't have a definitive answer, but . . .
a) Just to verify, I did a test as you described -- in my case, copying the Soundpools folder from E: drive to the D: drive. After the move, I reopened MusicMaker and set the new location in the Settings/Folders tab.  It worked as expected -- even without the rescan, I could drag/drop loops onto tracks. 

b) I then did a rescan -- at first, my list of Soundpools and Loops disappeared in MusicMaker.  Then the list gradually began to refill, as the scan process continued.  

So, I see 3 parts to this process . . .
1. Move/copy the Soundpools folder to the new location
2. Open MM and set the new location in the Settings/Folders tab
3. Finally (possibly optional), run the rescan.

Is this the sequence you followed?
What did you see when you ran the rescan process?

Note: you don't say what MM version you're using. I know this works in MM 21/22/23, not sure about earlier versions.
