move your vaultcache to a different drive
its in the launcher settings
the city sample will take 100g of space in your vaultcache and another 100g+ in the project
you can literally move the vaultcache
then load the launcher and change the vaultcache location to the new one
bottom left of the launcher by your profile icon.
You can also move the vaultcache to an external
and just plug it in and restart the launcher when you need the files again.
You can also delete the contents of vaultcache
myself, I hate redownloading so I have it backed up

how to change download directory in epic games launcher

So, let me get this clear. EA has made it so I can only install their launcher on my C: drive? There is no other way to change it to a different drive, despite the option being available in the install app? Why is this the case? My C: drive is not an option here; my PC is set up so specific files go to specific places. I don't want the app or the service if I cannot customize the install location. This is a big mistake on EA's part and a deterrent from buying anything from them in the future. Is there a solution or not?

44. Now here is where you need to remember the name of the folder you entered earlier in this guide. This is the directory where the Epic Games Store launcher was installed to the Steam Deck.

1) Go into your Grand Theft Auto V directory and find the "GTA5.exe" and "PlayGTAV.exe" files.
2) Rename them or remove the extension etc (I just change from GTA5.exe to GTA5 social club exe) - same with the launcher file
3) Rename the Grand Theft Auto V directory to "GTAV"
4) Open up the Epic Games launcher and choose where to install the game - this is where you realise that the EGS version kinda f*cks with things a bit with the name and directory.
If originally, the game was installed in xx:\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V - which is now renamed GTAV, then when you choose to install the Epic Games version, choose the xx:\Steam\steamapps\common directory rather than actually going into the gta folder

Normally, in the KSP directory, there should be two executables: KSP. and KSPLauncher. .
Steam now launches KSPLauncher.whatever . To get rid of the launcher, the only thing to do is to find where the path to the executable is stored within Steam and replace KSPLauncher.whatever by KSP.whatever .

I was wondering if there is a way to change my UE cache directory. I have 128GB SSD with my Windows on it, and another 1TB SSD for work. All my cache data is being saved to 128GB SSD(C:\Users\Nitro\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine), despite the fact that I have been installing EGS launcher and UE itself to the bigger drive (D:).

Sidenote: The directory where the unreal engine is installed may be different depending on your launcher/engine version. It may be under C:\Program Files\Epic Games\VersionNumber or under C:\Program Files\Unreal\VersionNumber.

GOG's Galaxy launcher allows you to change where games are installed, but there is no built-in button to move downloaded games to a new folder. Click the gear icon in the top-left corner, open Settings > Installing, updating, and select Game installation folder. Choose your preferred location and future games will be saved here.

After this is done, you will need to open Settings > Download in the EA app and change the install directory in the settings. Click Edit next to Install location and choose your new destination. When you download a game, you will be prompted to locate the game files and tell the client the new folder destination.

Also, just for my sanity could you try the following, head to this directory: ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor open up GameUserSettings.ini in notepad, search for FullscreenMode and change that to 1. Save and try launching.

In order to validate your game files, you will need to use the Command Prompt on your PC. First, you will need to cd (change directories) into the directory that you have installed the GTA V game in.
