More or less what balala said, for another occurrence of this issue:

As for the reason why that happened, the account from which you originally installed Rainmeter a long time ago might have been either XXXX1 or XXXX2 (which would explain why some files are there), and it's possible that your Documents folder relocation wasn't performed 100% correctly / completely at the time (e.g. either while Rainmeter was running, or after Rainmeter was installed - which would explain why some of these filders are considered instead of the D: location), not to mention possible account name issues, changes or creation in the meantime. Or, might be some unknown Rainmeter bug in such relocation / reinstallation / multiuser / OS upgrade scenarios, though that's less likely.
When I had the habit of relocating my Users folder a long time ago, I always did it very shortly after installing Windows, while there were no other programs installed yet, and didn't encounter major issues with that approach. I know these things "should" work fine afterwards too, but I generally don't like to take chances when it comes to doing things cleanly, from the start. OS upgrades are a similar example, a higher probability for issues than when doing it cleanly through bare installation of the new version. Planning ahead has its benefits.
