Drinking, Driving, Thinking of You
I have a 44 GB Steam game that I installed to my primary SSD that I would like to move to a mechanical drive to free up space, and I'd prefer to not have to worry about re-downloading the game. I know how to create junctions, but I'd really prefer to move the game and avoid that step just for the sake of making my directories easier to manage. Also there are other games that I will be moving as well, and I'm trying to make the process as smooth as possible.

I tried following steps that I found online, but they did not work for me. The steps were laid out for How to Move a PC Game (Without Re-Downloading It).

The problem is that it would delete the files I had moved and re-download the whole games. That is a substantial waste of time. I hope that using junctions is not the only workaround in my situation.
