@@pondererer5066 Yeah it works fine, my only suggestion is keep some apps in the original file. Like Discord or whatnot. If you find apps aren't working after moving everything to an External HD, then move files back that are associated with the app that's messing up. An example I can show is the following. I have Discord still in the original Roaming file & after moving everything, a plugin got moved out of the roaming file & it messed up my discord. Moving that one specific folder back to the original roaming file fixed the error. It was a very small file so it wasn't even something that needed to be moved in the first place. May require some trial & error with your stuff. Will also cause you to get logged out of a lot of places too.

No, it's not. Local file is the main settings folder for many of your programs, like your firefox profile or many many many windows applications. It's a fixed folder, like "system32", and the programs wouldn't know anymore, where your data is, if you moved that. With Roaming it's a different story, as quite no program is saving really into "Roaming", but into "%appdata%". That's a variable which can be changed. When your local folder is quite full, there can be two reasons: 1. You have installed many programs. Many programs means many setting files. Be glad that they are orderly filed in that folder, and are not just in your /home folder like in Linux (where you easily can have hundred folders with a . at the beginning in that main "My files" folder). 2. Your temp folder at /local/temp is quite full. As it's a TEMP folder, it's save to just empty the folder all the while. Just go into the folder, type STRG+A and then delete all marked files. Whose files, that cannot be deleted, just skip. They are used at the moment. When a program would need a temp-file, it would just recreate it. Most times TEMP is full because - you downloaded a file like a .pdf and opened it instead of saving it on your computer first and then open it from there - you opened a RAR file. WinRAR has the stupid method of first decompressioning the data in your temp folder, and when you just view it, but NOT decompress it - WinRAR will just left the decompressed files in your TEMP folder. That can get big easily, as you might expect. Only way against it: click the .rar-file with the right mouse button and choose "decompress here". Then WinRAR decompresses the file in the folder the rar is in. This is even a quicker way to decompress your data, as it don't need to be copied from TEMP to your folder after the decompressing.
