Filled up C Drive in Windows 10 and no Move Option in Apps & Features

According to online instructions I've read, Windows 10 has a move option in Apps & Features to move apps from the C drive to another drive, but all I find is an uninstall button, no move button. My C drive is almost full, and I need more space.

    Hello 2,

    I'm John an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I want to apologize if you encountered this issue. I understand you have a problem with no move button on the apps in Apps and Features.

    If you see a “Modify” button instead of a move button, you’ve selected a traditional 3rd party desktop app. You can’t move it from here. If you see a “Move” button that’s grayed out, you’ve selected a Microsoft-provided app that was included with Windows 10. You can’t move those apps, either. You can only move apps you’ve installed from the Store like Games for example.

    Please check this article if it helps.
