Windows 10: I moved my my roaming folder to another drive and need help safely moving it back.

I was looking for ways to free up some space on my C drive cause its quite small and read I could move my appdata folders to another drive. I only moved the roaming folder and not the local and locallow folder before realizing it was a bad move. Now all the files from my roaming folder are in another drive though there original roaming folder is still there in my c drive but only takes up ~1gb compared to the 6gb it was before. How can I move these files back to the original roaming folder?

Moving Public Folder to another drive

I have been asked to install an HDD in a church pc which only has a 224GB SanDisk SSD which is running out of space.
The problem I can foresee is that the church uses an application called SongPro which insists to install in the C:\Users\Programs File (x86) and the data files in the
C:\Users\Public\SongPro5 folder and does not give the option to be installed software
on another drive.
I have searched the web if and how the Public folder can be moved to another drive and found that it can be done using the following steps;

1. COPY (don’t MOVE) the C:\USERS\PUBLIC folder to a different disk or partition
2. Click the START button and type REGEDIT (not case sensitive) and press enter
3. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > MICROSOFT > WINDOWS NT > CURRENT VERSION > PROFILE LIST
4. Double click on PUBLIC
5. Correct the path
6. Reboot the PC
7. Go to C:\USERS\PUBLIC and delete everything

Can someone here please confirm if the SongPro software is installed in C:\Users\Programs File (x86) (the SSD) and the path Public\SongPro5 folder moved to another folder will work?

Is it safe to move the AppData Folder?

Hello,

i want to ask if moving the AppData Folder to my D: Drive with symlinks AND changing the path in the registry is helpfull.

I'm asking this, because i want to outsource my User Folder from the normal C: Drive which is a small SSD.

I know it could be unstable and not very performant, but is it safe to move? I had Problems moving the Program Files and Program Files (x86) Folder to my D: Drive where i couldn't install updates properely. It just matters if the System can't work with that
way.
