Hi Team, for Endocare. They can't take cts, the drive is out of storage. Is it safe to move the oldest vatech folders to another drive?

# Resolve CT imaging storage failure by relocating VATECH data folders

## Problem

CT imaging operations failed due to insufficient disk space on the primary data drive. Drive D: [DATA] reached 100% capacity (699.5 GB allocated out of 700.8 GB total), preventing new CT scans from being saved. The VATECH folder consumed 411.1 GB (58.8% of total drive space), with imaging data dating back to 8/9/2022.

## Resolution

1. Identify the oldest VATECH folders by examining last modified timestamps in the disk analysis utility
2. Document the exact source path of folders to be moved (e.g., `D:\VATECH\[specific folder names]`)
3. Document the exact destination path on the target drive
4. Move the oldest VATECH folders to another drive with sufficient free space
5. Verify the moved data is accessible and intact before proceeding with new CT imaging

**Note:** Always record both source and destination paths before performing the move operation to ensure proper documentation and potential rollback capability.
