@Worthless I rember :D

@@BlahDepartment Did you find anything lol

same lol

Thank you too!

same, did you ever find a solution to this? Would be a great help, thanks

@@mpexxx solution is to buy at least 2 tb ssd. Bc Windows is a dogsh*t soulless piece of sh*t that doesn't even let you own your own computer. Better use Linux

hahaha@@AggressiveSpaghetti

​@@AggressiveSpaghettiHonestly, I'd rather fucking die than use Linux again. Worst experience of my life and the community was very gatekeepy and condescending

@@helllloo12 hu jo?

thank god i found this comment. i was bouta do the same thing. thanks for the assurance lol

@@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.

@@zepherscotty aight thanks. Does unplugging the harddrive while your pc is still on do anything dangerous or nah

Unfortunately this is the only way to move app data. I made very clear in the video you're only supposed to move that one folder out of the three. if you move more than one folder you will break programs

@@TutorialClan How to move the appdata again to the main drive ?! Please Help !

@@dhandayalprasad2267 you just repeat the process but backwards

​@@TutorialClan Hi, I moved the roaming folder using your way. I ran %appdata% to verify if windows now knows where appdata folder is (step at 3:50) the address bar still shows C: as the location. So when I try to repeat the process again as you said, I noticed that the location tab is no longer present in the properties of the roaming folder on C:. HELP.

@@TutorialClan Nevermind, Restarting the pc fixed it. Thanks a LOT for the hack.

This should have been a setting in the settings app. My 128GB ssd filling up with apps instead of 1tb one. 😤

Same Here

same

That's how it is for me too, and I'm on windows 11.

Same here, I tried it but it didn't work...

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.

@@acmenipponair you are right I have made that mistake in the past ...

Thanks

I freed up 40 gb

Let me look into this

Great!

Restart your computer

@@TutorialClan it never worked

Minecraft for example saves it's data into roaming. Like all the worlds, mods, schematics, different versions you downloaded etc. That can get really huge. But that's also the reason, notch used %appdata% and NOT Local for that: So you can move all your minecraft data savely to another partition ;)

than does it may break files

@@TutorialClan Hi, I'm not really sure what the Problem was, but something was definitely off with my SSD. I wanted to move Appdata so I can get back some storage but it wasn't that easy with any files. I had to set up my pc completely new on a new drive. Now it seems to be working but I have also WIN 10 Pro instead of Home. Not really sure if that makes a difference. But thanks for the answer :)

@@justusmendron ok

If you haven’t already please update the current version the window. For some goddamn reason window removed this feature for safety concern but didn’t need to

mine has 25 💀

@Daniel Rossoni de Freitas maybe is a bit late, but you can open your admin task, delete explorer.exe, ejecute a new explorer.exe and then check when roaming is located

Same

same issue here, solution ?

thanks

restart your computer

@@TutorialClan I did and nothing worked, my apps lost all of their settings.

Reinstall it

Plug in a USB flash drive of the amount of the appdata. Move the data Through a copy and paste that the data is not there anymore and then update windows. Once updated follow the video, move appdata to a different drive and then take the data off of USB stick and copy and paste it into the new location of appdata.

ok

You just moved one folder not all of them right?

.

@@TutorialClan ?

@@chunchunmaru5128 Are you on the current version of Windows 10 or windows 11

just keep trying until the computer finally switch it to the proper location

You'll have to reinstall it.

The problem is if you move any of them the other ones in the appdata, you might end up breaking programs like uTorrent

I mean you can try moving at but just word of caution

Restart your computer

@@TutorialClan I have this same issue. W+R %appdata% show the correct drive, but it's also still in the original location with all the files still in there. It essentially looks like a copy. Even though W+R %appdata% shows the correct drive, it's still putting the files in the out of space, original drive. (I restarted my PC). I also no longer have the "Location" section under properties

Never had a problem

@@TutorialClan I am also not sure about this. I wanted to move that folder but I read that. You might be right as well.

i mean hes only moving the roaming folder. im not sure if you meant that but its the only file that got moved in the vid

@@TutorialClan I have a question, how long does this process of moving the appdata usually take? (I'm moving something around 50 gb and I'm using 2 hdd's)

Did you move every one of those files

I had it move them to my hd and then I removed roaming from my ssd when I did that I removed roaming from my ssd and everything stopped working right

@@r50rplayz17 your computer probably didn't save the location of the new file location

Seems like this guy messed me up too, and his reply to someone else is him mistaking their problem for windows not being up to date when they did his exact steps

This is the only way that you are able to move appdata on a computer. Microsoft took disability away because of the fact that it can make programs not work correctly if they're not reinstalled later. I highly recommend to do this on a new install of Windows

You're welcome!

You can but the more you move the more you break programs

@@TutorialClan I have a question, how long does this process of moving the appdata usually take? (I'm moving something around 50 gb and I'm using 2 hdd's)

no

Are you amin?

no you need to restart your pc after that
