Move content library to external SSD
After following an internet suggestion I copied all sound library files to a folder in my external
ssd which took quite a while. In Native Access I clicked the refresh icon but no repair or relocate option is available. I'm not sure now how to redirect Native Access so I can free up disk space on my data drive. My Komplete Kontrol still functions but in the origional Library location.

at the bottom left click maintenance there should be some options to relocate or repair

Thank you, I tried that already. I pointed it to the new path, after it ran it said Library found successfully! The old path remains for each library item however. NA isn't redirecting.

ok , move the original folder from its place, that will break the link with NA

use latest version of Native Access for your OS
Else then did you try renaming one of the library directories on the original location before starting Native Access and then point the missing installation to the new destination. I imagine the N.A. might get confused if you point to a new location while keeping the old location. (try renaming the least important library then if it works you rename more).
I case that you need to do some resets then here are some links :
resetting the Native Access XML file , look at section 8 here : My Product is Missing in Native Access
Resetting the Komplete Kontrol Database
When/ if using Mac then also always make sure that you have done all the Mac user prerequisites

Well that did something. Now just a handful of the libraries work as they are directed to the new drive. I'm downloading a missing library so when it finishes I'll try repair again, reboot and see what happens.

I believe it's working now. I'm installing updates and I'll check the paths of all the libraries. A few are still directed to the old drive for some reason. When I'm done should I put the old libraries in the trash or is there another way?

yeah , trash them , what I did was copy the folder , trash the original and then open NA , everything that needs repairing, I point to the new folder , I think I had a few updates after , but I’m not sure if it even downloaded anything, because some of them were saying 4.5gb , but downloaded in a couple of minutes , my internet isn’t that quick
