On my old PC I did the same with personal data. I had two partitions and two drives so a total of four partitions. Drive C had nothing but Windows and all personal files were on Drive E and M and the last Drive J was where I kept my image files which saved my bacon a time or two. Thanks Acronis. It was the first PC I built from scratch. I junked it after I got the Gateway.

The download manager won't work for me. Most Sim downloads are on file storage sites like MediaFire, Box. Dropbox, OneDrive and Simfiles. It's sad but I got over 500 data discs of nothing but Sim files since 2005. I no longer burn discs all newer stuff is on external and laptop. I have a catalog program that helps me find things on all those discs.
FDM will download from MediaFire, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, and just about every file locker and cloud storage service I've tried. Mobilread is one of the few exceptions, I can overcome that if I install the RefControl Firefox extension, but it creates problems elsewhere, so for the odd download I do from here I skip over FDM and use Firefox's downloader.

I have no trouble deleting most hidden and/or system folders and files, because I am always logged on as the administrator- System Volume Information and a couple of others are exceptions. I don't go along with the nanny state model unless its to protect the lives of others, no one will die if I delete something I shouldn't.
