How do I move a Perforce “workspace” folder?

Question

I\'ve just downloaded a 4.5GB depot to a location on my hard drive that is not ideal.

I\'d like to move the folder that Perforce now sees as the \"workspace\" folder

Mike's answer is almost correct, except that the p4 sync -k is not required when moving a workspace (changing the root). P4 does not care where the root is, it only tracks the files on your machine by workspace/client name.

If you wanted to change the workspace name (which would require you to create a new workspace) and populate it with files from an already synced workspace, you would then need to run p4 sync -k to let the server know that this new workspace has these files at @changeset.
