Can't Backup a Specific Folder in Windows File History

Hi everyone, on my laptop I am trying to setup Windows File History and I am having trouble selecting a specific folder that I want to backup to my network drive. Whenever I try and add, say the '2021' folder, it doesn't appear in the "Back up these folders" section. Only the main folders can be added e.g. Desktop, Documents, Video, Pictures.

A workaround I figured was to just exclude every folder in Documents which proved to be very tedious and also resulted in files that are not in folders, random tmp files and temporary world files being backed up as well which I don't want.

Would really appreciate a fix to this.

Thanks

also hi to the people who helped in my file recovery post haha
