    How do you move all the unity files from C to D without getting any error like "Could not find directory" or something like that? Is it just to drag and drop ?

    And where is all the unity files located at? I want to move ALL the files!

    help!!

    No, you will just uninstall Unity Engine, not your projects or assets.

    CAPSLOCK (also known as "shouting") won't help you.

    Projects and Assets are normally stored in a different folder/location (e.g. Documents > Unity Project). Uninstalling the Unity Editor does NOT remove your Projects and/or Assets.

    Since you've written about C and D, I am going to assume you are using Windows.
    Unity's default installation location is:
    C:\Program Files\Unity
    (unless you installed the 32-bit version, then it is Program Files (x86) instead).

    However, that is not the only place Unity saves data. In addition to your project file(s), which you can save wherever you want, Unity also stores data in:
    C:\Users\ *your account name* \AppData\Local\Unity\
    C:\Users\ *your account name* \AppData\LocalLow\Unity\
    C:\Users\ *your account name* \AppData\Roaming\Unity\

    If I remember correctly, it is in Roaming Unity stores Asset Store packages etc which can take up a considerable amount of space.

    Finally, Unity also has a Global Illumination cache folder. I can't remember it's default location (I think it is something like C:\GICache), but you can change it in Unity by going to Edit -> Preferences -> GI Cache.
