I'm attempting to change my default Documents folder to a separate folder I set up on my External Hard Drive, but having a lot of difficulties.
The way I wish to set it up is essentially just have my documents folder located on my external instead of the default, so that games/video recordings/anything else that auto-saves there will be saved and loaded from the location I want. I've tried using Symbolic Links and Hard Links, which may be able to solve my problem, except I'm not very educated on them and not sure if they're what I need. I've also changed the save folder in the documents properties to it, but that also didn't seem to achieve my goal.
If possible/necessary I'm okay with having things saved in both folders, I'd just like to be able to delete things off of my internal without worrying whether or not they're on my external. Saving to the external is the important thing, loading from it is wanted but not absolutely necessary.
