Windows 10: Can't open files after moving them to Data D from Windows C

Hello,So because my Windows C storage was almost full, whereas my Data D empty, i decided to move some parts of C to D. Obviously I messed up, because some stuff aren't working as they should. The main problem is, a lot of photos, like screenshots cannot be opened, and a text that goes like this pops up "Windows cannot find 'my x files name'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." Also, when i used some shortcuts like google chrome for example, it says ''this item 'x' has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete

:)

 

How to Move Files (not Apps) from C to D?

I’m asking this common question because of the many different explanations on how to move data files (not apps) from C to D. Some instruct use Windows Explorer, right click Folder > Properties > Move Location; others suggest drag and drop, or copy and paste from C to D. Some say to use command scripts or registry changes, or Partitions. What is the safest way?

• Do I also need to make any changes to my Shell Folders and/or User Shell Folders too?
  
• Finally, for the Folder Change Location method, some instruct to move location to D:\Documents, for example. Why wouldn’t the path be D:\users\NAME\Documents?
  

Many Thanks! Michael

C windows installer folder - Delete?

He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink
Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

Like:
First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
Then type this in command mode as admin
mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
