I am in the throes of doing some PC maintenance, the aim of which is to free up hard drive capacity on my limited space SSD.

I had already installed SkyDemon on the second drive but noticed that the downloaded charts, logs, routes etc.. have been located at Local Disk (C) > Users > Me > My Documents > SkyDemon and currently hold approx 700mb of data.

Is there an easy way to get this moved to the second drive or to tell SkyDemon to "look" elsewhere for it?

Cheers.

SkyDemon will always look in your 'home' folder for this stuff.

What you probably want / need to do is relocate your 'Users' folder to the new drive but this isn't a supported configuration as far as Microsoft is concerned.

There is a way of doing it - here's an article which explains how to copy your whole Users folder to another drive, then 'link' the new folder back to the original location on your system drive.

Be careful though...

Cheers for the info. I'll heed your word of caution and look into this. Otherwise 700mb isn't that critical I suppose. Thanks again.
