You running Win 10? Go from Settings (the new win10 settings, not control panel) to System to Storage. There you can set your virtual folders to point anywhere you want. Desktop specifically and few others aren't in there. Those you can re-locate in "This computer" Right-click on the Desktop folder, pick Properties and set the location on the Location tab.

OK, simple enough.All you need to do is create some folders on your HDD for you files (documents folder, movies folder). Then go to the ones on the SSD (the originals). Then right click on them and select properties. Once you get there, select location and then add the folder on the HDD. Then copy the files over, and delete them from the SSD.

 

Note: you don't need to actually create the folders on the HDD if you are on windows 10, you can just click move. I only said that barbecue I don't know what OS you are on. If you are on windows 10, you can just hit move instead of adding a path in.
