SymlinkMover

Free up your main drive without breaking your programs

---

What's the problem?

Is your main drive (C:) full because of games, programs, or cache files? Many apps don't let you choose where to install, and break if you move folders manually.

---

The Solution: What Are Symbolic Links?

A symbolic link is like a super-powered shortcut: it makes Windows and your programs believe the folder never moved, even though it's now on another drive. Move large folders and keep everything working—while freeing up space!

---

Main Features

• Move & Link!
  Move large folders and create a symbolic link automatically.

• Just Create Link
  Easily create a symbolic link if you already moved the folder manually.

How To Use

1. Move & Link!

• Source Path: The folder you want to move (e.g., C:\Program Files\BigGame)
• Target Path: The parent folder where you'll store it (e.g., D:\Games)

Steps:

1. Select the Source Path.
2. Select the Target Path.
3. Click Move & Link!
4. Wait for Windows to finish moving the folder.
5. Done! Everything works as before.

2. Just Create Link

• Source Path: Where the link will appear (e.g., C:\Program Files\BigGame)
  This path MUST NOT exist.
• Target Path: The folder you already moved (e.g., D:\Games\BigGame)

Steps:

1. Make sure the Source Path does not exist.
2. Enter Source Path and Target Path.
3. Click Just Create Link.

⚠️ VERY IMPORTANT!

Note: This application is designed specifically for Windows.

SymlinkMover must be run as Administrator.
Right-click the file and choose Run as administrator.
This is required for Windows to allow symbolic link creation.
If you skip this step, the app will not work properly.
