Please add a feature to move game files to a different folder

@EtarickDefinitely all in for this as a feature since my C drive isn't usually used for installing games. I believe this is currently a feature in Origin so I doubt EA will miss this one out.
In the app's settings, we can set a default folder, but there's no way to move the existing games via the app.
I uninstalled a game after realizing the default directory was on my C: Drive. I changed EA Play default install directory in the EA Play Settings then proceeded to reinstall the game making sure it had my corrected/preferred install directory listed. Despite all this it redownloaded and installed it back to the C: drive. I know this can be fixed by clearing the EA Play Cache in %APPDATA% folders, still kind annoying that I can't trust the install dialogue to utilize the location listed in the install dialogue. Regardless I still have to uninstall and reinstall after clearing the cache, if nothing else I am bogging servers down redownloading GB of data that I really only needed to move locally on my PC... In summary I could have avoided all of this if there had been an option in EA Play to move downloaded games to other drives and or folders as this thread was initially addressing. I understand the old Origin installer had this feature, why it has not been included in EA Play Beta despite comments since November is...….lets call it unresponsive.
