Safely Move Downloads from C Drive to D Drive

Geeks - Moving downloads from the C drive to the D drive can be a useful way to free up space on your C drive and organize your files more efficiently. Here's a step-by-step guide for safely moving your downloads from the C drive to the D drive:

Create a new folder on the D drive. You can do this by right-clicking on the D drive and selecting "New > Folder". You can name this folder "Downloads" or something similar.

Open the folder where your downloads are currently stored on the C drive. This is usually the "Downloads" folder in your user directory.

Select all of the files in the folder by pressing Ctrl + A on your keyboard. You can also hold down the Ctrl key and click on each file individually to select them.

Right-click on one of the selected files and choose "Cut" from the context menu. This will remove the files from the C drive and place them on your clipboard.

Navigate to the new folder you created on the D drive. Right-click anywhere in the folder and select "Paste" from the context menu. This will move the files from your clipboard to the D drive.

Open the folder properties for the "Downloads" folder on the C drive. You can do this by right-clicking on the folder and selecting "Properties".

On the "Location" tab, click the "Move" button. This will open a dialog box where you can select the new location for the folder.

Navigate to the new folder on the D drive and select it. Click "Apply" to move the folder and all of its contents to the D drive.

If prompted, click "Yes" to confirm that you want to move the folder and its contents.

That's it! Your downloads should now be safely moved from the C drive to the D drive. Remember to regularly check and clean out your downloads folder to free up space on your hard drive and keep your computer running smoothly.
