Two drives, One is full. How to change file destinations to empty one?

I have two drives. One is called Windows (C:) which has 39gb and is full. The other one is TEMP_PART01 (D:) 617gb and has everything I copied from Windows (C:). I want to know how to change,so that all my files that I download go into the 617gb drive instead of the 39gb drive because I can't download anything at all. It always says download failed because disk is full. I tried to delete everything from the 39gb since I already had all of it in the 617gb ,but it said access denied and that I had to get permission from trustinstaller. I just want to know how to set it so that everything goes into 617gb automatically when I put anything into this laptop. I have a samsung windows 8. Please be very specific with what I'm suppose to do because there is a lot of things I click to try to find something that I can set drives or change the files destinations, but couldn't find it.

If you are explicitly looking to redirect the Downloads folder from the default location in C:/Users/username/Downloads to a location on D: such as D:/Users/username/Downloads, you can perform this task by first creating the folder at the desired location and second opening your User folder via File Explorer, right clicking the Downloads folder and selecting Properties, selecting the Location tab, and then selecting Move You can elect to move the files that exist in C:/Users/username/Downloads to the new location if desired. See Redirect a folder to a new location here.
