No Directory Error on Terminal for Symlink

[Bluebellflora]

@KingFlashGrant

There’s a folder in your Documents folder called Electronic Arts. After you moved the original folder did you launch the game or another EA game? It will have created a new Electronic Arts folder. You can see in the output the problem - “File exists”.

When I put in the first command I didn’t move my original folder it just made a copy of the stuff inside. And no I didn’t start ea game

@KingFlashGrant

Then you didn’t properly do the first command. Make sure step 1 works before trying to do step 2.

[KingFlashGrant]

So when I do step 1 my oh electronic arts folder from documents should move

[Bluebellflora]

@KingFlashGrant

Yes. That’s what step 1 is.

[KingFlashGrant]

what do I do because terminal will not move an electronic arts to my usb

@KingFlashGrant

As before, copy and paste the command you are entering into Terminal and the output here.

But…… I have to be honest, creating a symlink is not something the average user does. If you’re struggling now with creating, and understanding it, you will run into serious problems if something goes wrong and you need to undo any erroneous commands you have mistakenly entered, which is easy to do.

mv ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts /Volumes/USB/

no output comes out when I put in the command

@KingFlashGrant

Good. That means it has worked, the Electronic Arts folder is now on the external drive and no Electronic Arts folder in the Documents folder.

[KingFlashGrant]

But there is still one in documents
