How to move your saves from C:\

[WereElf]

If you don't want your save files to fill up your C:\ here are the steps you can take to move them:
1) go to C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Larian Studios
2) cut (Ctrl + X) the Baldur's Gate 3 folder and move it (Ctrl + V) to its new location.
3) open Command Prompt as admin
4) write "cd C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Larian Studios"
5) write:

mklink /D "Baldur's Gate 3" "X:\New Path\Baldur's Gate 3"

where you replace the X:\New Path with the path to the new location of the Baldur's Gate 3 folder (from step 2).

6) enjoy!

I'm getting a syntax error after I write the mklink command, and I don't know what to do :(
Here is what I'm looking at in my command prompt.

Microsoft Windows (Version etc.)
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Myname>cd c:\Users\Myname\AppData\Local\Larian Studios

c:\Users\Myname\AppData\Local\Larian Studios>mklink /D Baldur's Gate 3 F:\BG3 saves\Baldur's Gate 3
The syntax of the command is incorrect.

c:\Users\Myname\AppData\Local\Larian Studios>

***EDIT***

OK it actually worked
>open ur command prompt in admin mode like WareElf said (I didn't at first but that's because I'm stupid)
>when writing the mklink /D command, you need to keep the quotation marks (") where they are when you replace the directory with your own.

OP did everything right, it just took me a while to understand what I was doing wrong.

Here is my command prompt window post-fix:



C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Larian Studios

C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Larian Studios>mklink /D "Baldur's Gate 3" "F:\BG3 saves"
symbolic link created for Baldur's Gate 3 <<===>> F:\BG3 saves
