[QUOTE="iWheeler, post: 1587348, member: 212338"] just tried it and it worked perfectly! i don't understand why i couldn't find this out anywhere as that was very easy to do?! most tutorials tried explaining everything rather than putting it simply like this for instance: step 1: cd ~ step 2: rm -rf (name of folder) step 3: ln -s (path to new folder, i simply went to the folder in finder, right click-copy, paste in terminal) done! in step 2 i had to add sudo in front as it originally said permission denied. i understand it's risky typing in terminal when you don't understand commands etc. but i don't think you could mess up the above steps! Thanks for the help/fast response! [/QUOTE]
