Moving Steam install folder

[kennar]

I've just upgraded to a larger C drive and would like to move the Leadworks installation from another drive. I looked but it doesn't appear that the Steam client makes this easy. I assume I have to delete, manually or otherwise, then re-install. If not, suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

You'd have to move your whole steam folder to a new drive. What you could do if you don't want to do that is use what's called a Junction.

It basically creates a link from one folder to another. So Steam will save in SteamApps/Common/Leadwerks, which you could change to another drive.

If you want to move your whole steam folder (recommended).

 

Just copy everything to a new drive, then delete everything out of the steam folder EXCEPT SteamApps and Steam.exe.

 

Run the Steam.exe and Steam will re-installl in the new location.

Thanks, I'll probably go with the recommended option though good to know about Junctions.

I use a small program called Steam Tool. Works great!.
