    I am needing to clone a HDD to a new SSD but the HDD has a large WindowsAPP folder with blue arrows top right corner- 221GB- that I cannot remove, delete or anything with it. Permissions look ok as far as I can see. The drive is in an external caddy and is from a different windows machine- I am cloning it which contains my Steam and Origin folders with a couple of other games that I cant reinstall due to lost disks etc so I need to clone it rather than copy the contents

    Is there a way I can clone the other stuff without that folder as it is too large for the new SSD- I need to clone rather than copy as I need to keep the Windows links to the software on the drive

    Thanks
