New GT72 SSD message almost full....

I was installing a few games from Steam on my new MSI GT72 and had a popup message saying my SSD was almost full and my SSD life will be shorter. As Im not a computer guy so I was looking and Steam was installing games on my SSD. My question is I opened the files on my SSD and have 40gb in steam files. I moved the whole Steam file to my 1tb hd. Is it safe to delete the whole steam file off of my SSD now to free up space?

 

Yeah, you should be fine to delete the game files off of the C drive, but you might want to leave just the steam program itself on there or reinstall it on to your HDD if you want.

 

Probably safe. What did you move, exactly?

If you run into issues, you should be able to copy the files back over, just remember which directory (which folder in your C: drive) they came from.

 

Or worse case scenario, you maybe just need to reinstall a game completely. A lot of games, Steam will save your game progress to the cloud.

 

You also have the option the backup your game files on to the 1 TB HD using steam. If something does go wrong, it will only take a few minutes to update your game from the backup files.

 

You can select in Steam to install on your 1TB drive. Create a folder for your game and select it as your installation drive. You can most likely do a backup as previously suggested by Jason, or worst case you need to delete them locally and redownload to the correct drive.

 

Remember that Steam has a cloud sync feature, also. It's hit or miss, but if everything is synced, you have game data redundancy through that.
