Change CC files location

[suz davison]

Hi,

I want to free some space on my hard drive and CC files are taking up a lot of room. In the future I planned to turn off sync and manually upload them to the Cloud service (and also save a copy of them on a USB stick too.)

So have moved the folder location from C drive to a USB stick. It moved fine and I can see them all the files there. But when I want to delete the CC files off the hard drive it deletes them off the USB stick too. I have turned off sync.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

why don't you remove your usb stick and then delete from your harddrive.

p.s. did you install all your adobe cc apps on a non-c drive?

Good suggestion, that seemed to do the trick.

Thanks

you're welcome.

First of all, USB sticks are absolutely the first source of lost data, external harddisks are the second source.

Second: I find it odd that when you copied your data from your C: drive to an external USB stick and when you delete a file on C it deletes also on the USB. That is only possible if you are using a windows program to synchronize both directories. I doubt that this is the case. I suppose you are deleting on the USB drive. So kglad​‘s suggestion to remove the USB stick will prove that.

I would seriously consider a harddisk upgrade.

Hello,

Yes you're right it's not a great idea to have the files on a usb.

But I'm keeping them on the cloud too, so for now hopefully that will be ok.

I am getting a new computer soon, just trying to find a way to get my current one working better for now.

I think the problem is with something else though as after doing this it's no better!

But I'll ask that on a separate question!

Thanks for taking the time to reply
