Title says it all, but my NONG songs are going to %AppData% > Local > Geometry Dash instead of steamapps > common > Geometry Dash > resources when "Change Custom Songs Location" is turned on.

In the meantime as a temporary fix, you could try creating a directory junction between the directory it's trying to put songs in and the directory where the songs should really go.

I'm too stupid to know how to do that myself, but thanks for the reply regardless. :)

Aw, don't be mean to yourself! I can't expect everyone to know how to work the command line!

@No-obHub Here's a small step-by-step tutorial:

  1. Make a backup of your data in GD and restart your computer
  2. Open up cmd (Win+R, cmd)
  3. cd %appdata%\..\Local (go to AppData/Local)
  4. mkdir tempgd && copy GeometryDash\*.* tempgd\ (copy the GeometryDash folder to a new one named tempgd)
  5. rmdir /s /q GeometryDash\ (remove the existing GeometryDash directory)
  6. mklink /j GeometryDash "<whatever your GD Resource folder location is>" (create the afformentioned junction, paste the correct location)
  7. copy tempgd\*.* GeometryDash (copy the manager files to the created link)
  8. rmdir /s /q tempgd (remove the temporary directory)

For convenience, I copied this into a batch script [tested, works on Windows 10 Home 21H1 64-bit] Note: you have to rename the file from folderfix.txt to folderfix.bat since GH doesn't support .bat sharing
