Download Location for Addons

Hi everyone, I have mucked up my installation and am looking for help. I'll try to be as succinct as I can.

I downloaded Vegas Pro 21 yesterday. To my C Drive.

Then I decided to opt in for a TRIAL of Vegas Pro Post and decided to put the files on my F Drive as I don't have much room left on my C Drive.

Then today I decided to subscribe so I would have access to stock footage etc. and most of the files were already downloaded as part of the trial yesterday so I hit "cancel" on those particular ones. I put each of the addons in their own folder that I created on my F Drive thinking Vegas Pro 21 would know where to look. But it doesn't.

Now because I subscribed and downloaded more files I have two Vegas Pro 21 folders in my program files directory and I cannot download stock footage.

Do I need to completely reinstall Vegas Pro 21, or can I do a complete new reinstall of all the Vegas Pro Post files and put them in the right place, now that I'm subscribed. If so, where do they all go please? I have searched the forums for "installation location" and looked elsewhere for the answer but nothing has come up.

I have since deleted all the files installed on my F Drive (both as part of the trial and as part of the subscription) except Acid Pro which won't delete and keeps telling me it is in use when I don't have Vegas Pro 21 open or anything apart from the file explorer at the time.

Do I even need to worry about this. Can I put all of the addons in folders of my choosing. If this is the case, then why can I still not access stock footage please.

I feel a bit stupid but it is what it is. Could someone please help me and thank you

Thanks but none of the Categories under New Post in the Vegas Support forum apply to my question. I Mean my question is about download location of the Magix software, so idk.

@Sandi-Richards Vegas is owned by Magix but has its own forum. You have correctly posted in the Vegas forum under Vegas Pro.
