C:\ProgramData%\Epic- Mklink these file to their original location using these commands in CMD (in this example, we copied the files to G:\Epic Games\EpicGamesLauncher, and G:\Epic Games\Epic).
mklink /J "%LocalAppData%\EpicGamesLauncher" "G:\Epic Games\EpicGamesLauncher"
mklink /J "C:\ProgramData\Epic" "G:\Epic Games\Epic"- Once the link is successful, shut down the PC, and apply the writebacks from OS and game images.
