    My Downloads folder is filling up my C drive...how do I move it?


    Folks,

    I don't want to move my Users folder. (Kari has an excellent tutorial on that. I did it on a previous system and that's not a solution for me.)

    My C drive is an SSD and my downloads are at 120GB. Sure, I can move things manually, but I'd rather have Win10 see and use the Downloads folder...in my D drive, not my C drive.

    How do I do that?

    Thanks,
    Ken

    :)

    Windows can't find files after I moved files/folders from C drive to D drive

    Because my C drive was rapidly filling up, I had to move many folders from my users account in the C drive to the D drive (using the "Documents" or "Picture" folders. Now Windows is having trouble finding the files/folders that were originally in the C
    drive. It says "Could not find this item. This is no longer located in C:\......" How do I resolve this? Thanks.

    in that link, scroll down to the bottom where you can use File Folder Properties to Move your folder to another drive.
    (ie) Right click your Downloads Folder, choose Properties,/Location/Move browse to the drive and folder you want to move it to.
