I'm glad that everything worked fine. As for your question, it's true that a lot of games and programs create folder in the User Folder, but more often than not they don't fill them up with large size files. They are either account info files, settings files, save game files, etc. You might get a suggestion on how to move your User Folder, but that's not really recommended since you we're talking about Win 8 here. You can read more about it here: http://www.zdnet.com/article/dont-move-your-windows-user-profiles-folder-to-another-drive/.
On the other hand if a program creates a destination folder of ready files (which are large) like video editing projects or recording programs, you should be able to set the path of the destination folder to a different drive from the settings.
