Moving Steam games

Does it work or is it a lot of messing about and take an age whenever you want to play?

My SSD is fast running out of space. If it does work, what is the best tool for it.

Thx

Yeah programs like that do work fine, although it was too much of a faff for me and I upgraded from a 120gb to a 240gb.. and then eventually to a 500gb!

Log out and exit Steam
Navigate to the folder where Steam is installed (by default: C:\Program Files\Steam\)
Cut and paste your Steam folder to the new location, for example: D:\Games\Steam\
Launch Steam
Steam will briefly update and then you will be ready to play
All future game content will be downloaded to the new folder D:\Games\Steam\Steamapps\
Make sure your desktop shortcut is pointing to your new location
