SymMover Frees Up Valuable SSD Space
Posted: Mon Dec 14, 2015 8:52 am
SymMover is a great way to free up space on a small SSD boot (or other) drive.
If you are hitting the quota limits on your drive because sample files, install files and other big files are accumulating, rather than doing a clean delete and re-install to a different drive SymMover moves those files to a drive with more space (could be SSD) and sets up a "symbolic link"which fools Windows into thinking the files are in the original location. Great when you can't change default install locations.
I have been using this to free up space on my SSD by moving samples which install into unchangeable "default" locations as well as other large files needed for installs, etc., to larger internal drives. Has worked flawlessly and is completely transparent. Moves are completely reversible.
