How to change the location where you save your replays

General Discussion

Step 1:
Move your replays to the new location, you should be able to do this on your own
The current location should look something like:
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Heroes of the Storm\Accounts\414512322\2-Hero-1-7752163\Replays\Multiplayer

Step 2:
Delete the Multiplayer folder from the Replays folder.

Step 3:
Open up command prompt as administrator, this is done by opening the start menu, and typing in " cmd.exe " and rightclicking the only result showing up, and clicking Run as Administrator .
If more than 1 result show up, click the one with an icon that looks like a black box with the text C:\

Step 4:
Navigate to your replay directory with the cd command, easiest way to do this is to copy/paste the path from your explorer window.
The command should look something like this:
cd C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Heroes of the Storm\Accounts\414512322\2-Hero-1-7752163\Replays

Step 5:
Enter the command:
mklink /D Multiplayer "D:\Path\To\WhereYouWant\YourReplays"

for instance
mklink /D Multiplayer “D:\HoTS\Replays”

You should get a message looking similar to:
symbolic link created for Multiplayer <<===>> D:\HoTS\Replays

Now it’s done, no more replays on C: :slight_smile:

I thought that this is useful information, so I dug it up from the old forum. The solution belongs to Moonlit. And you can see the original post here:

An alternative without using the console is to use the “send to” point in the context menu. Chose “desktop”, rename it and drag it to the location where the old folder was.

Okay, after checking the instructions, I found what is wrong and fixed it in the OP to avoid confusion. You need to remove the Multiplayer from the 1-st command, and it should work.
