there some files that automatically downloaded to my SSD? is there any way to move them to my secondary HDD easily?

like skype for example

you'll have to be more specific.

theres commands that do things, and it'll solve for you.

skype is on SSD i want to move to HDD

move the Skype folder to where you want it to be

open cmd as admin, and type the following:

mklink /J <old location of skype> <new location of skype>

replacing the two parameters with the old and new location of the Skype folder.

example:

mklink /J "c:\program files (x86)\Skype" "d:\Skype"

move the folder, not copy folder.

EDIT: when you drag between drives, you copy by default.

thanks

as a closer i just want to mention this:

 

windows does A LOT by itself, and if you have someone explain the commands to you, programs generally make things harder.

 

not to mention the junk that lives within the pools of programs for stuff like this.
