I would like to move brave files from C:\Users%User%\AppData\Local to new location do to its size on the disk How can this issue be reproduced?
Move the folder from that location to a new one and everything is now missing
Expected result:
when I move that folder to a new location I can 1. go into brave browser and change the location, or 2. have brave notice the move of that directory to another location and just keep working.
Brave Version( check About Brave):
1.14.84 Additional Information:
Looking to free up space as that folder takes up around 11GB and I have other drives that have more space.
Sorry, you are correct it was not 11GB but 6.1GB, but still, I would be happy to know the command line to do that if I could as cut and past to a new location just gave me a blank brave screen with no settings. It is good to know that when moving them back everything shows back up again.
Did you accidently install a game in there? sorry i couldn't resist
The folder should contain files and folders not bigger than 600 MB !
I’ve never seen +11.000 files in any installation of brave, the last two months.
If this is not a question for a Dev/Admin ??
I do indeed have brave rewards enabled, as for extensions I have translator, Google Translator, Adobe Acrobat Reader and Metamask. I do not know of any of these downloading Videos or anything of that nature. I do suspect if anyone did it, Maybe the translation extensions download languages for faster translation but that seems unlikely. After looking after a reboot, I found it dropped significantly to 1.4 GB so the Idea it is a cash problem now looks to be be true.
I had not as I did that before rather recently and did not see much a change from the last time months ago I checked. everything that could be cleaned up was only megs in size and only double digit. I would still like to move that folder off C: thought if there is an option to do so. I have a 10 TB drive just looking for something to fill its storage capacity outside of course the new Cyber Punk that is coming out of course :).
