    Change where new content is saved error


    I am currently having the problem of not being able to change the location that new apps install to. It is currently my C drive but i want to change it do my D drive. When i allow windows to delete the apps from the drive the error code: 0x80070005 appears. From the bit of digging i have done it is apparently a permission error of not having ownership to the file 'windowsApps'. I have tried using the registry script to take ownership from this website: https://www.askvg.com/add-take-ownership-option-in-file-folder-context-menu-in-windows-vista/ to take ownership of the file but it still d

    Hello Martin,

    We apologize for the late reply.

    Windows 10 lets you easily change the default Save location for Documents, Music, Picture and Video files. For steps on how to organize your preferred setting, follow these steps:

    • Open Start Menu.
    • Click Settings, then System settings.
    • Click on Storage in the left pane.
    • Scroll down a bit and find Save locations.
    • There you will see New documents will save to setting and similar settings for Music, Pictures & Videos.
    • Select the location from the drop-down menu.

    For Windows 10 Creators Update v1703, you need to navigate as follows:

    Settings > System > Storage
    > Change where new content is saved.

    Tip: If you are suffering from the low space issues after upgrading, you can use these technique to move Documents and other personal folders from the default system drive to another drive.

    Feel free to post back if further assistance is needed.
