Deleting profiles

I have copied my profile from the very small C: drive (W10) to the D: drive (SD card) on my Notebook and created a new profile to use the copied data. Now Thunderbird opens using the data on that D: drive.

Naturally I now want to free up the space on my C: drive, but I get very confused about folders and profiles in TB. What is it safe to delete from the C: drive without impacting on anything else?

I've seen other posts about losing everything when doing this - which would be a bit of disaster since it took a whole afternoon of trial and error to set everything up! (Although I do have full backups!)

Could anyone advise me? (Baby steps please!)

Many thanks for that, sfhowes. Simple when you know how!

In future, when I want to update the profile on my Notebook, can I just copy only the relevant profile from my main PC (the 'master' profile, if you like) and paste it over the D: drive profile? Should I delete the Notebook profile first? (Or do I have to copy the complete Profiles folder?)

Apologies for all these questions - and thanks for helping out.

To replace a profile with a backup or one from another computer, empty the contents of the existing profile folder (not the folder itself), and copy in the contents of the source profile folder.
