Tired of that infuriating red “Low Disk Space” warning on your C drive? When your system grinds to a halt because bloated apps hijack your SSD, FolderMove (400KB, no install) becomes your digital lifesaver. Move installed programs/games to any drive without reinstalling or breaking functionality!
Why Ordinary Fixes Fail
Common solutions backfire:
- ✂️ Cut-paste folders: Breaks apps (registry/shortcut links point to original paths)
- 🔄 Reinstall elsewhere: Wastes hours + loses custom settings
- ⚠️ Repartitioning: High risk of data loss
FolderMove’s secret: It uses NTFS Symbolic Links – creating “smart pointers” so your OS thinks files remain in C:, while they’re safely moved elsewhere.
How It Works: 3 Clicks to Freedom
- Browse → Select app folder (e.g.,
C:\Program Files\Steam) - Choose Target → Pick new location (e.g.,
D:\MovedApps\without recreating folder names) - Click “Move & Set Symbolic Link” No command-line skills needed – perfect for beginners!
Tech Perks:
- 🔒 Auto permission transfer: Maintains NTFS security settings
- 📂 Hidden link option: Secure migration to USB/external drives
- ⚡ Runs offline: No telemetry or bloat
Who NEEDS This?
- 💻 Small SSD owners: Offload 100GB+ games to HDDs (Steam/Epic Games)
- 🚫 Forced C:\ installs: Migrate “stubborn” apps like Chrome, Zoom
- 🎮 Gamers: Move AAA titles (tested: Cyberpunk 2077 runs flawlessly after relocation)
- 💡 Creatives: Shift Adobe projects without broken asset links
Pro Tips & Warnings
✅ Do this:
- Run as Administrator (right-click → Admin)
- Close apps before moving (use Task Manager)
- Migrate >100GB files separately
⚠️ Avoid:
- Moving drivers/antivirus (system-level tools)
- Power loss during transfer (back up critical data!)
