When trying to make some space on disc C i have somehow changed the documents folder for disc F but it now duplicates everything whats on disc F to folder documents which i named F. It did not made any space in disc C anyhow and it looks like some of the files from F are duplicated in C. How to change it back now without losing files and at the same time by making some space on disc C. Thank You all for help

Symbolic links and Disc C: space cleanup

Hello, I was wondering how I can make a symlink to/from (I don't know) a heavy file in disc C: and

1. Would it reduce disc C: space?
   
2. What other alternatives do I have?
   

If you answer the symlink making question, also answer the 1. question as well if you can.
