How did you back everything up before taking these recent actions? Did you use Settings->Backup and Restore->Backup Library in MobileSheets, or did you just backup files? The important thing is that you have a version of mobilesheets.db that was backed up before you made changes. If you created a library backup in MobileSheets, then you are fine.
As far as the current problem of Windows indicating that you don't have enough memory, can you please go to "This PC" in File Explorer, which will show all your drives, then right-click on "Local Disk (C
" and let me know how much free space is reported?
If the D: drive is always going to be available when loading MobileSheets, then it's perfectly fine to store your library there. I can provide a hack of sorts to allow you to change your storage location without having to let MobileSheets move your files. What you would want to do in this case is copy all of your song files out of the LocalState folder to the folder of your choice on the D: drive. Do NOT move mobilesheets.db, as that MUST stay in the LocalState folder. Also do not move any .xml files - those are settings files for MobileSheets. You'd only want to move folders out of LocalState and/or PDFs tied to your songs. After moving the files, right-click "default.xml" in the LocalState folder and edit it with wordpad or an application of your choice. Search for "storage_dir" and modify the path that follows it to point to the folder you want to use on the D: drive. After doing this, load MobileSheets, go to Settings->Other Settings->Fix Broken File Paths and let it scan for your files just in case any file paths need to be repaired. You can go to Settings->Other Settings->Find Missing Files to see if MobileSheets believes any PDFs are missing. You can then try loading your songs to see if everything works as expected.
