I am using Garmin Express, a program to update my Garmin Nüvi 2595LTM GPS device. I noticed that Garmin Express is taking up over 6.3GB in the C:\ProgramData folder. I only have a small SSD as the C: drive, but have 2TB on D: and E:.

I would like to use D: to store programs, and E: to do all manner of data storage e.g. backups. I just want to redirect this one program as the others are very small in comparison to this one big offender, Garmin Express.

Can you give me the commands, line by line, I would need to redirect the data location of Garmin Express to D: instead of the C:\ProgramData?

I would expect it to be something like

 mkdir D:\ProgramData
 robocopy /XJ /MIR "C:\ProgramData" "D:\ProgramData"
 mklink /J "C:\ProgramData\Garmin" "D:\ProgramData\Garmin"

If your copying the whole programdata folder you should link it.

 mkdir "d:\ProgramData"
 robocopy /XJ /MIR "C:\ProgramData" "D:\ProgramData"
 rename "ProgramData" x
 mklink /j "c:\ProgramData" "d:\ProgramData"

Then delete the X folder.
