我的文档、桌面、下载这些文件夹都在C盘，怎么把它们整个移到D盘？
you keep finding your documents, desktop, and downloads folders stored on the c: drive and want to move them all to d:, that is a common need when the system drive is low on space or you want files on a larger, separate disk, the good news is windows provides simple, safe ways to move these folders so programs and windows still find them, this guide uses plain steps you can follow without advanced skills, it explains how to move each folder using file explorer and the built-in location tab, what to check before you start, and how to undo the change if needed, read the short checklist and then follow the step-by-step instructions for each folder.
why move these folders
moving documents, desktop, and downloads to d: frees up space on c: where windows and programs live, that can improve performance and prevent low-disk warnings, keeping user files on d: also makes backups easier if you keep that drive separate, before moving, confirm d: has enough free space for all files and that the drive is healthy, if d: is an external or removable drive, do not move these folders there because windows expects them to be available at all times.
quick checklist before you start
1) back up important files to an external drive or cloud, 2) ensure d: has at least the same free space as the used space on the folders, 3) close apps using files in those folders, 4) make sure you are signed in as the user whose folders you will move and you have administrator privileges available if windows prompts you.
how to move documents, desktop, or downloads (step by step)
1) open file explorer and go to this pc, 2) right-click the folder you want to move (documents, desktop, or downloads) and choose properties, 3) click the location tab, 4) click move, then browse to d: and either select an existing folder or create a new folder such as d:\users\yourname\documents, 5) click select folder, then apply, 6) when prompted, choose yes to move all files from the old location to the new one, 7) wait until the files transfer, repeat for each folder you want to move, using the location tab keeps the folder path the same for windows and most apps.
what to expect after moving
after the move, shortcuts and programs that use these special folders should work normally because the system redirects the folder path, new files created by apps or the system will go to the d: location, if an app still looks in the old location, either change its settings or sign out and back in, if something goes wrong, you can use the same location tab and click restore default to move the folder back to c:.
troubleshooting common issues
if you get an access denied error, close apps and try again, or restart windows and repeat the steps, if files did not move, check d: free space and try the move action again, if you accidentally moved to a removable drive that was later disconnected, move the folder back to c: or reconnect the drive, if user profiles behave oddly after moving desktop, sign out and sign back in, or restart the pc to refresh settings.
alternative methods
you can also move folders by creating a new user profile on d: or by using symbolic links (mklink /j) for advanced users, symbolic links work but require care and administrator rights, for most users, the location tab method is safest and simplest.
总结
moving documents, desktop, and downloads to d: is straightforward with file explorer’s location tab, back up first, move each folder using properties → location → move, and confirm the file transfer, if you run into errors, restart, check permissions, or restore default, want help with a specific error message or step?, tell me the exact message or which step stalled and i will guide you.
