Move the Users folder to another drive on WSE 2016

I've been cleaning up a server remotely and it's all looking good except for a very full C: drive, due to a large Users folder there. I'd like to move it to D:, but when I use WSE to move it, I get:

So how do I move that folder when it has the profile of the user I'm using in it?

    Do it from the recovery console.

    Is there a way to do that remotely?

    If it is a virtual machine then you could. If it is physical then it may be possible via iLo or iDrac or similar firmware tools.
