  1. Deleting a folder from AppData LocalLow?


    Hi, I was having an issue with a game and I read online to go to the AppData folder, LocalLow folder and delete the folder inside there with the game name on after uninstalling the game.I did this and the LocalLow repopulated with the folder again and the game works well now.Did I do any damage to my system? Online I see that whilst the folder in LocalLow had the game name on, deleting it could affect other apps and files? Is this true? Do I need to worry? Thanks!

    :)

  2. Can I move a folder from my AppData/LocalLow folder to an external?

    I recently posted a question about deleting a folder from the Roaming folder after moving it to an external. Now I'm wondering If I can do something similar with the LocalLow folder. I like having gaming files and such all on the same drive so it's easier to find them and was planning on moving a gaming folder from the LocalLow folder to my external (the folder is almost 3GB). Would this possible to do and be safe to delete after doing so? I'm asking because I don't know if the LocalLow folder would work in the same way as the other two in the AppData folder.

    Deleting a folder from AppData LocalLow?

    How to change folder location for "Local" and "LocalLow" folders?

    For reasons that I will not specify (as they are not relevant to the question) I would like to move the location of "Roaming", "LocalLow", and "Local" folders. I have the option to do so with "Roaming" but it is missing for "LocalLow" and "Local". Or
    even just the entire AppData folder. Is this a permission issue? Is this just not possible? If it's not possible, what is the justification for it?
