Ark genesis is downloaded to the system disk
I cannot install ark because it is downloading to me in the main folder of the Steam program (C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ downloading) and not in the installation one that I have by default on another hard drive for games (F: \ Programs \ Games \ SteamLibrary \ steamapps \ common \ ARK), if I check the local archives of Ark, it is precisely that the local files are in the path (F: //) (where I have enough space), without However, checking the path that the download error message gave me due to lack of space, I find that the entire download of Ark Genesis is being done in the following path of my main disk (C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ downloading) which I do not understand given that by reviewing the download parameters in Steam for Ark, the Steam library that I have in the unit (F: //) appears by default, I don't know if at the end of the download ( I've been deleting and changing files to other drives to continue with the pr update process), correct this and somehow change the files downloaded from path C ... to path F ... Where I have the main ARK files. I hope you can give me some guidance for the solution without reinstalling the download since it is really complicated to do it in the place I am now (bad ISP),

I have tried the download of another game (Black Desert) and this one if I create the Downloading folder within the F path ... So I don't know what to think about Ark Genesis being updated on the C Path .... I have also seen that you are downloading the same files from months ago that you already had in the folder of the F path ...
For example :

Ragnarok_A1_Underwater_2.umap.SM4 on the path C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ downloading \ 346110 \ ShooterGame \ SeekFreeContent \ Mods \ Ragnarok

And these same I have in my other Dd:
F: \ Programs \ Games \ SteamLibrary \ steamapps \ common \ ARK \ ShooterGame \ Content \ Mods \ Ragnarok

Reviewing more, I have seen that the maps folders, PrimalHearth, Mods. Of the other expansions I am downloading them on my main disk (C)

I have started the download again and I still create the files DOWNLOADING -> ShooterGame on the hard disk of the system, which has me desperate since that would consume all the space dedicated to the main system, which I do not understand why the folder as mentioned above unit F, it is the default where the base ARK is installed ... Help plz

This problem is related to steam. So steam downloads all games to the steam install, unpacks them and then copies them to the install location and deletes the version in the download folder. The only solution I know of is to move steam to the drive you want the games on.
