Probably not. But work asking.

I have set all my data storage locations off the ssd and onto the mechanical D drive.

I have set windows explorer to the new default location for documents.

This is the default and only location for my documents: D:\Users\Golf1.6\Documents

But for some reasons some programmes still set the default location to C:\Users\Golf1.6

Often this catches me off guard and sometimes drives me insane because I'm 100% sure I saved it in my documents and I can't find it even after using windows search.

Is there any way to force all programmes to use the specified default documents folder? I think there might be a registry hack. Or maybe I can just delete the Documents folder from C and in place of it put a shortcut to D - I'm not being lazy - just want to consult first before doing.

The C:\Users\ will never be used to store anyone libraries. But I'm guessing the application data and other system stuff will still be stored there.
 
Do I need to delete my documents off c:\ drive? some games and apps have stored stuff in the C:\ drive

p.s. culprits who have saved stuff on C:\ when the default save location is D:\
