Appdata iTunes backup different drive

[AvalosPhoto]

So, After building a rig with a 500gb m.2 boot drive,  we backed up our many iTunes devices only to fill the drive up with 400gb of backups. I need to move the Apple computer folder in AppData to e drive. 

  I’ve tried switching from powershell to cmd so I can move the file over to the E drive but powershell is being a stubborn pain. I have tried a few different ways to open this folder and run in cmd but to no avail. 

Is there an alternate way to move the iTunes backup folder onto the e drive?  Is there an app that makes this easier? I don’t think it will take buying an app but I am just annoyed with dealing with this.

Have you tried uninstalling iTunes, then reinstall iTunes but with a different installation path to E:/? Just make sure you use the iTunes executable from Apple and not the one from the Windows Store since that one defaults to C:/. Then after reinstalling iTunes to drive E, backup your iOS devices again.

 

Or better yet use iCloud.

You'd have to move the entire Appdata folder to the E: drive and symlink to it. I haven't personally ever tried this as it's not a recommended practice, but that would be the process pretty much. Not even sure if this can be done in Microshaft Winblows.

Since the back up is in app data folder is in c drive, it saw it and linked to it there. Maybe I need to delete all of it first??? I’ll try tonight.

This would be the mlink likely... tried and failed
