Move screenshots to different drive?
I recently got a SSD, and I cloned my system to it. After moving certain content back to the wiped HDD, I feel I still have not freed enough space on the SSD. I suspect some Steam folders may be taking up a lot of this space, including screenshots as I take way too many.

I found the option to create a new screenshots folder, but I would really like to move it completely. How can I do that without messing up their cloud/steam links?

And are there other Steam folders that take up a lot of space that I could move as well? Is it better to just have Steam installed to the HDD and then move certain games to the SSD?

You can choose what directory using STEAM > SETTINGS > IN-GAME - there is a button to select the screenshot folder. Very handy to have, I've moved mine off to my data drive myself.

That is for uncompressed screenshots. Or do you also move the other screenshots as well?

true they do show up in the 760 directory regardless.

However for my part, it's safe to use the uncompressed area for all of them, and just examine / delete those in the 760 once I know they're in the right place for me to use.

They must've realized there was a useful feature on steam, because they got rid of that button.

I see nowhere that lets you edit screenshot location anymore.
