This page provides information on how to move the downloaded assets to a new folder directory.


  
<span style="color: #000000">When changing the download directory for Cosmos Assets (</span><span style="color: #000000">[see how here](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COSMOS/pages/124359268)</span><span style="color: #000000">), the Cosmos Assets downloaded so far will not be transferred to the new directory automatically. </span>

<span style="color: #000000">This is done to ensure that existing projects which reference the downloaded Cosmos Assets will not be broken as a result of changed file paths. However, you might decide to copy the downloaded Cosmos Asset files to the new folder directory, so that you don’t have to download them again.</span>


<span style="color: #000000">Here is how to do it: </span>

<span style="color: #000000"> </span>

2. <span style="color: #000000">Paste them to </span><span style="color: #000000">*”folder new” > Lock*</span><span style="color: #000000">. </span>
3. <span style="color: #000000">Go to </span><span style="color: #000000">*”folder old” > Packages > “3D_Models”*</span><span style="color: #000000"> and copy the files in it. </span>
4. <span style="color: #000000">Paste them under </span><span style="color: #000000">*”folder new” > Packages > “3D_Models”. *</span>

<span style="color: #000000"> </span>

<span style="color: #000000">Repeat steps 3 and 4 for folder </span><span style="color: #000000">*“HDRIs”*</span><span style="color: #000000">. </span>
