using DIM, what to do with a package installed in the wrong directory?

CO3DR

I have two content directories for my DAZ content. I just noticed my 'Inside the Asylum' package is installed in the wrong one.

I don't want to manually move the files. I don't want to try to interpret the manifest and try to move the right files using File Explorer. I want to use DIM totally.

But, I don't want to re-download the package. I haven't deleted my packages after installation because disk space is cheap.

To a total newbie, what steps do I take in DIM to move it. Do I delete? If I uninstall, what will make it show up again on my "ready to install" tab? I do know how to select the directories I want on the "ready to install" tab.

I did a test with one package, and at the time it looked like it was TOTALLY deleted. But, I just checked now, and I have it. However, I had taken a trip to the DAZ store in between and could have unwittingly re-installed it along with the other content newly purchased.

Put the backed-up zip in the DIM downloads folder, and uninstall the item using DIM.  If it doesn't automatically detect the item in Ready to Install a refresh will.

Thanks Fixmypcmike! I've since learned that DIM works exactly as you say. I have an unrelated problem with getting a lot of "zip file is not readable" errors, but it basically works okay for most packages.

Those zip not readable are either incomplete or corrupted downloads...with either the source being a connectivity problem on your end, server load or some other networking glitch.  You'll need to redownload those.

(Thanks for your reply! Sorry about my mention of the new problem. I started a new thread for that.)
