Windows 10: Missing user folder after moved it to c:\

Missing user folder after moved it to c:\

Move Users Folder Location in Windows 10  

If not the best way to do that but at least the way I recommend:

• "Empty" your user profile folders as much as you can, copying documents, pics, videos, music and all other personal data from all user profiles to external HDD. As following steps require you to relocate Users folder two times, the less data is left in user profile folders, the faster the relocation process. Important: Leave system folder AppData for each profile intact, do not empty / move its content!
• Reverse the relocating, doing exactly as told in tutorial Method Two but this time relocating Users folder back to C: drive
• Shut down the PC, replace the disk where you had Users relocated
• Mount the new disk, boot to Windows, assign new disk the same drive ID letter than the old one had
• Again, do as told in Method Two, now relocating Users to new disk
• Restore the backed up personal user data from external drive to respective folders under each user profile

 

Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

No tried that.

Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

any more suggestions

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand how frustrating it is when things don’t work at times. As Windows 10 Technical Preview is still a developer version, issues may occur I will be glad to assist you in this issue.

Follow the steps to change the location of the Download folder. You can follow the same steps if you want to move the
c:\ user\current user\ local folder:

• 
  In the New User see many folders such as Account Pictures, Contacts, Desktop, Downloads, My Pictures and others folders. You can choose the Downloads Folder.
  
• 
  In the Downloads Folder, you can right-click on Downloads Folders and choose the Property.
  
• 
  After opening the properties, you can see the General tab, Sharing tab, Security tab and Location tab. You click on the Location tab.
  
• 
  After clicking on the Location tab, you can see the Downloads Location which shows in the figure below and click on the Move Button.
  
• 
  In this you see a new Window; you can give the new Location that you want and first give the drive name and then give the folder name. In this you can change the older Location and give the new Location name where you want and
  then click on the Apply Button. These are shows in the figure.
  
• 
  The new popup Window shows and click on the Yes Button.
  
• 
  In this you can see the popup Windows and click on the Yes Button. In this you can see the old Location and new Location
