Windows 10: How to move pictures from the C drive to the D drive?

I have folders with a bunch of pictures and I want to move them to the D drive because there is more space there. How to do that? Also is there a way to set the D drive as the default drive so pictures saved will automatically go there?

No C: but D: drive has all the data

Hi Austin,

To help you with your concern regarding the data on the drive C:, you're seeing the drive "C:" as the drive "D:" because you're booting your computer outside Windows. When booting your computer outside Windows, the system is reading the recovery partition
as drive C: and the data in the drive C: \ are listed on the drive D: \. Try to boot your computer and try to check again the data in the drive C: \ and see if the data are listed.

Regards.

 

D drive

Hi,

Based on the details you have provided us, it appears that there might be some corrupted contents on the said partition. We can also consider that this is caused by a virus.

For us to check if a certain virus is hiding your files, kindly follow the steps below:

• Type Command prompt in the search bar.
• Type-in the following command:
  
  attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.*
• Press Enter to execute the command.

If you think that there is nothing important stored in it, then we suggest that you reformat your D drive so that you can use the free space for important files.

You can follow the steps below to start with the process:

• Click on the File Explorer.
• Select This PC.
• Right-click on your D drive, then click on Format.
• Follow the on-screen process to finish formatting the partition.

Let us know how it goes so that we can further assist you.

 

C drive full, D drive empty

Hi Sonia,

You will not be able to extend your C drive into your D drive as they are 2 physically separate drives inside your PC, they are not partitions on the same drive . . .

You have a 265GB SSD and a 3TB HDD on your system . . .

What you can do to gain more space on your C drive is, move all your data to your D Drive

Open Windows File Explorer

In the right hand pane, right click your Documents Library folder,choose Properties

On the resulting dialog, click the Location Tab

In the Location box, type D:\Documents

Click Apply and OK and confirm the move

When that move completes, you should do the same for all your other library folders (Pictures, Videos . . etc.) with the exception of your Desktop folder

Please remember for each library folder, specify a different folder, for example, Pictures will go to D:\Pictures and so on . . .
