Much depends on whether you copied the files to your drive or 'MOVED'
them. If you copied, then you took up more space on the destination
drive, leaving a copy behind on the source drive. If this is the case,
you need to delete the "copy from the source drive" to free up space.
Then it may be necessary to create shortcuts to each of the new
'program' files you need to run.
Note: It is possible you may need the 'install version' to do this
properly (in case simple copying doesn't work). If it does work, you
might get away with creating shortcuts to run the copied software.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.

If I copies some folders and did not move, which I did for some, then I did
see some (copyis of) on one of my search/finds and deleted them. Is that
what you mean? Thanks.
