I have multiple drives in a desktop computer. I want one of those drives to function as my /home/username/Pictures folder. Can this be done?

I thought symbolic links could do this, but I'm not having any success.

The target drive is /media/Images. Here's what I tried so far:

terminal screenshot

All four variations give me the same result, a shortcut inside the /Pictures folder.

link inside folder

This isn't what I want. I want the /Pictures folder itself to be the shortcut. How do I do this?

Why it's as simple as deleting the Pictures folder first before linking my good man. Like so:

rm -rf ~/Pictures



ln -s /media/Images ~/Pictures
