I did this because the game needed more storage than i had available in C to i moved to D which was successful does not seem to allow screenshotshowever the game was still in drive C, as i cut it to move to D. i was wondering if i could delete that "copy" in drive C and keep the one in D? As it is taking up storage in C

Switch C: drive with D: drive and move Program Files

Hi, CaptJDC. I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

It's not recommended to move the folders "Program Files", "Program Files(x86)", and "Program Data" to another drive, most programs use the C: as the default path to work properly. Changing these folders to another drive will make most of your software stop working.

The folders Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, and Videos you can move without problems.

Step 1: Create the folder on the drive D:

1-Open the File Explorer

2-Click on "This PC" and open the "Local disk D:"

3-Create the folders Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, and Videos

Step 2: Move the folders to the new location

1-Open the File Explorer

2-Right-click on the "Documents" folder and click on properties

3-Click on the "Location" tab

4-Click on "Move..." and select the "Documents" folder on drive D and click on Ok

5-You will be asked if you want to move the files to the new location, click on "Yes" to confirm

6-Repeat this procedure for the other folders

To identify which files taking more space on your drive C:, you can an app called TreeSize Free from the Microsoft Store.

Switch C: drive with D: drive and move Program Files

I have a desktop HP computer tha has a C: drive SSD of 237 GB . Windows 10 is loaded there and by default all Program File and Program Data. The other drive D: is a Hard drive with 931 GB.

C: is almost full.

How do I move all the Program Files etc to D: and only leave C: only for Windows and then set up the system so that all future Programs load in the D: drive.
