Version 6.50 Beta 18 Data Folder

Postby bodean » Tue Oct 22, 2013 1:28 pm

When I installed, it said don't use an SSD drive (which is my C / main drive) for it. So I set it as my Downloads folder.
Now I have a bunch of random files in there. I guess this wasn't a good idea. How do I move it to another location (I guess I have to put it on another drive, and not an SSD drive?)

Thanks

I'm not following you. Are you saying you chose the "Change Data Folder" option in the installer? Were you doing a first time install or an upgrade install? If you were doing an upgrade, it's not going to move your data over, it just creates a new data folder. And what specifically are these "random" files you are referring to? And where are they?

If you need to manually move your Newsbin Data Folder location, the procedure is here.

It was a fresh install.

You aren't giving me alot of details to go on. If you are reporting an issue, I need enough information to troubleshoot the problem. What were the "bunch of random files" you are talking about and where did they end up? If you could walk me through step by step what you did I can try to reproduce it myself.
