Steam – I have different characters in the “My Games/Terraria/Players Folder” than in the game itself

steamterraria

I uninstalled Terraria because it kept crashing, after reinstallation, I opened it up, but both my characters and worlds were gone. They were still in my C:/documents/my games/terraria/worlds and /players folders. But I could not find them in my game. When I try to download a custom map, I can put it inside the worlds folder, but when I open Terraria, it does not show up. Someone please help me :C
