Hello, I wonder why there is a ProgramData folder on my second drive, I used to store only Games there. But how can I remove it?
I already changed where new content is saved to my Windows drive, so that is not an issue...

    Hello HeavyDoger21,

    I am Jaspreet Singh.

    Try renaming the folder to Windows.old and then running disk cleanup.

    This removes the folder.
