I want to change game location mid downloading.

Im in the middle of downloading my Apex Legends (51%), but my hard drive ran out of space. The hard drive is my drive C where windows files are and I don't wanna delete any of these to free up space....

    Hey @PixelStuffs3 you can follow the steps below to move your game to a new hard drive:

    1. Copy your Origin Game Library folder to wherever you want it.
      • The default location is “C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\”
    2. Set the Origin Game Library Location to the new location.
      • In Origin open up Settings
      • Select the “Installs & Saves” tab.
      • Under “Game library location” select “Change folder…”
      • Locate the new folder.
    3. Start a download for each game you’ve moved.
      • In Origin open up “My Game Library”
      • Find each game you’ve moved.
      • Press “Download”
      • Origin will skip downloading any files that are already there and update any that need to be updated.
    4. When Origin is done updating each game it will be ready to play.
