>If done right, any thing now downloaded or Saved will end up on D:\ in the new Folders
Right. That is the case. The pronlem was that it was still writing and saving to the C folders and I could not delete the contents of the C folders without deleting the contents from the newly created D folders.
>but don't fret too much about "wearing" out a SSD ...never going to happen....for a normal use
Yeah, I read that as well. I guess it is just my own personal idiosyncrasy. This is the first time I have ever had an SSD (250GB) and I guess I just want to keep it as "clean" and uncluttered as possible.
>You didn't say you were Dual booting ....what 2 windows OS's ?
My bad. Truthfully I did not think that it mattered. All I did was image the windows 10 pro copy from the SSD using Acronis True Image and write it to the then empty 500GB "D" HDD. WIndows and Acronis took care of the rest. So far no problems.
>if you moved the Libraries on both OS's to D:\ you could be really confusing the issue....
Well I did not have to move the libraries on the D drive since they are part of the OS which is why I created that folder "C SSD" and duplicated the folders there. In other words the "D" drive has its own docs folder and it's location I did not mess with. I just created the C SSD folder and moved the C->Users>MYNAME folders there. So I believe I only moved the C folders and left the D folders right where they were.>Perhaps you are confusing Folders and Libraries? Libraries are just a Shortcut to a Folder hence you see the same thing in both.... ie the Documents Library , shows you what is in D:\Documents now not C:\Users\UserNAME\DocumentsConfusion is my middle name : ) I am going to read up some more on "folders and libraries." It may turn out that I'm just chasing my tail.
>If you moved The libraries to D:\ there should be nothing in the Folders at C:\Users\UserNAME\Docs ...... (Pics) (Downloads)
Right. Nothing in those folders because as you they are no longer there. I guess my hangup was that I also thought that the Library folders on C would now no longer be needed and would be empty and items would not longer be saved there. In essence what I seem to have achieved is nothing more then a backup of my C folders on to the D drive and while backups are essential that is what I believe external storage is for.
