GameStream is preventing copy...

I recently switched from Intel to AMD, requiring me to reinstall Windows 10. I started copy my old files over, but it started to copy a file called "GameStream", and I have no idea where its file location is, and how to get it to copy or skip it. (it has been trying to copy for the past hour with no progress done)

So just found this out: GameStream is part of NVIDIA Geforce Experience. But whenever I try to access the file location, it says:

There are bunch of files which are set to higher security options. You can't move/delete them when they are being used, or without forcing admin privileges. So only way is to access safe mode or by using another OS.

 

My advice would be that you don't try to move software etc. you actually couldn't use anyway after OS reinstall. Just leave them as is, delete unnecessary stuff, some in safe mode.
