Right now my C:\drive is 99.9% full. Is there a way I can move/redirect the Appdata and Program Data folder to my E:\Drive? I made an mklink years ago for something else, but I honestly forgot how I did it.

Thanks

Is this the command your looking for

mklink /d C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local D:\AppData\Local

Move all the hidden files and folders and sub folders from C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local to

D:\AppData\Local directory

Test it and if all is good ``Move`` the one on C: for safe keeping.
