COD does not use STEAM folder

I guess you still need to keep the STEAM files so the game will work

This is a pain for me as my C:\ drive is full up and i'm going to have to delete/move stuff to make room for new skins and missions!

Hope Ilya can change this location or give us a choice....

You can move it.

You should move it.

You should indeed never use C for saving your documents anyway. If your OS fatally crashes or you have to reformat for whatever reasons, you're in deep sh*t.
Besides that, as you posted yourself, all files stored fill up C until your system is choked.


Make up a new folder on a different HDD or partition. Call it Documents or whatever.
Copy all files from your "My Documents"-Folder there.

Rightclick on you Documents-Link in the start menu and choose "Set Path". Select the new Documents-Folder and add. Depending on the System you use, you have to delete the original Link manually. Some OS only accept one folder as "My Documents".

Done.

Now, move the files from the original MyDocuments-Folder to a backup-folder. If you don't make a regular backup, this is your chance.

Saves your HDD, saves your data and the best part: You can do it all by yourself and Ilya can concentrate on more important things.
