[SOLVED] OS (C:) full, Can I use DATA (D:) ?

[New2This-help!]

Running windows 7 on my Asus laptop. I have run out of space on my OS (C drive and want to download a few more games. Cant seem to find which files are taking so much space. Ive cleared as much as I can without deleting the hand full of games I want to keep. I went into my computer and have noticed my DATA (D drive has 390GB free. Can I make that my default download location for files and still start games and files as usual or is there more to it? Also is there a way to find what files are taking up so much space? I tried the GIGANTIC search bu nothing was all that large.

Thanks

Are we talking about steam games?

I have a handful of steam games, 2 origin games, but I am looking to download Diablo and WoW from Blizzard

I can help you move the steam games over, its not too hard. create a folder in the drive with space called "Steam Games 2" Go into steam, then in the upper right corner click steam>settings>downloads>steam library folders>add library folder, then select the folder you created earlier. Then, right click on the games in your library and go into properties>local files>move install folder. Then, select the new steam folder then click move folder. There is probably an easier way to do this, but this is how i've done it in the past. When downloading future steam games just select your new folder in the download menu. That's all I've got time for tonight, but if no one has helped you by tomorrow ill comeback to try to help with the rest.

That’s the best I can do, so hopefully it’s enough. There is probably a similar process for other game launchers that could be found online.
