So if you open File Explorer (“Windows logo key”+E), your C: drive may not be the C: drive in the command prompt Window. You need to figure out which drive letter the SSD (source) and HDD (destination) have and they may not necessarily be the same as what you see in your Windows environment (as seen in File Explorer). And this is where things can be a bit tricky. The PC should reboot and show a command prompt window. Once you see the blue screen shown below, click Troubleshoot, Advanced options, then select Command Prompt. Press “the Windows logo key”+C or point your mouse to either top-right or bottom-right corner, select Settings, and then click Change PC Settings.
Make sure you also exit all running applications before cleaning the whole folder.īoot into Command Line. After cleaning out the whole Temp directory, the whole process took only a few minutes. I happened to encounter “Access denied” error while doing the robocopy and the system kept trying to copy one *.tmp file for three hours before I realized what it was trying to do. All data backed-up (another obvious one).ĭelete all contents in LocalTemp folder in your C: drive (i.e., C:\Users\itnota\AppData\Local\Temp\*.*).Your target HDD must be formatted in NTFS.This should be obvious, but make sure you have either Windows 8 DVD or USB handy where you can boot from in case things go wrong.This post just shows quick steps on what to do without giving too much the why as it’s already best explained elsewhere that can be followed from the links provided at the bottom of this post. And I like this solution better as it’s more straightforward than the registry hacks. This is a method that’s commonly used in a hybrid SSD– HDD solution, but it can be used in any settings for those who don’t want to store their Users directory in their main C: drive.
