Each new AAA game release seems to set a record for required installation space. This is, of course due to the cost of SSD drives per gigabyte compared to traditional hard disk drives. When the transfer is complete you’ll see the message: “Success moved files to new library folder”, and Steam will verify the game files.As video game technology continues to move forward and players demand more and more performance the thing we tend to have less of now is storage space. Steam will also verify the game files, to ensure that nothing was corrupted during the transfer. Once the process is complete, you’ll see a notification in the window saying “Success, moved files to new library folder”. It could take a very long time, especially if the game is extremely large and on or moving to a slow HDD. Select your new install location, then click “Move Folder”.Ī progress bar will show you how far through the transfer process Steam is. Tip: You can only move or install games in folders already configured to be Steam library folders. In the Move Install Folder window, select which location you want to move it to, then click “Move Folder” in the bottom left corner. Click “Move Install Folder” in the “Local Files” tab of the game properties window. Switch to the “Local Files” tab in the game’s properties window, then click the bottom option, labelled “Move Install Folder”. In the Library view, right-click an installed game, then click “Properties”.


First, in the Library view of the main Steam window, right-click on the installed game you want to move, then click “Properties” in the right-click menu.

Thankfully, Steam makes it really easy to move game folders if you want to, so you don’t have to re-download any games.
