      Does it also transfer the space from source to destination or just re-routes the path of folder?
      Like if a folder of 5 gb is transferred from C to D, does C gets freed of 5 gb space?

    It worked! followed the steps and it absolutely worked, just a little note, if you see tons of repeated "new files" and it's taking a long time don't worry its because there's a lot of files to transfer, as an example I moved Genshin impact (a game) from drive c to d, and it took me 14 mins bcs of the small files. don't forget to mklink too. Good luck and have patience.
    Edit: the process is 100% reversible

      So you moved a game; did you ever receive a blue screen in the process or is the game still running normally? According to another commentor, he said he experienced "blue screens" and etc. Did you ever need to reinstall the game for any reason? I'm asking because I really don't wanna reinstall Battlefront 2 haha... Considering the game's pretty much dead because of Dice, I might just uninstall it anyways :/

      OKAY GUYS, LISTEN.. I FINALLY GOT IT. AFTER SO MANY HOURS...
      I'm no computer geek or whatever, so all that file and drive stuff is confusing... So herea what I did.
      1. Made a desktop folder to copy all my genshin stuff in.
      2. Double clicked the (C:) File
      3. Opened Program Files --> Genshin Impact
      4. Copied everything genshin related or what was in that folder.
      5.) Threw it all into that desktop folder from earlier.
      6.) Deleted everything genshin related from the (C:) drive
      7.) After that, took the desktop folder and dragged it to the second drive that had 100% nothing in it... Idk if it even make sense, but I hope It helped even just a bit..!

    Hey there, thanks a LOT for the trick.
    Quick question, let's say I have this game on C: that I move to D: using your technique. Now there is a junction.
    If I want to move it back to where it was on C: later using to first command, will it erase the junction automatically and make it "back to normal" ? Thanks

    This is absolutely brilliant! However, can someone help me understand how this works. I'm interested how these things work so I can understand in detail. Like I can see after you do the mklink the folder re-appears in the drive you moved it from but doesn't actually take the space it did originally. I'm assuming this is so the app still opens as it's still got it's original path. Just interested how it's in the original drive but not taking the space, I noticed the little arrow on it so I assume it's something to do with that. Would really appreciate a response but if not thanks for the video this is a massive help and really easy to do! subbed and liked (Y)
