What does the oversize-file step of Free Up Space do with my large files?
Short answer: It finds files above your size floor (1 GB by default) in your working folders and lets you move each to your fast drive, relocate it with a shortcut left behind, or skip it.
Step 2 finds files above your size floor — 1 GB unless you've changed it — in your common working folders, and lets you decide what happens to each one:
- Move to your fast drive, keeping its file name and folder structure.
- Relocate, which moves it and leaves a shortcut at the original spot so it still opens from there.
- Skip, which leaves it alone.
It stays within the folders you've paired with your fast drive and never touches files outside them. Nothing is moved until you confirm. For how moved files keep working, see what moving actually does.
