I need to free up disk space on my Windows 10 PC. I went to iTunes->Edit->Preferences->Advanced->iTunes Media folder location and changed the location. When I close and reopen iTunes and check this setting, it had reverted to the original location such as before I changed it. How do I move iTunes files to another location?

Hello Shinehah,
I understand from your question that you would like to store your iTunes data in a different location than the default. I can certainly help you with this!
This article will be a good resource for you. It will walk you through the necessary steps to resolve the issue: Change where iTunes files are stored on PC
I hope this is able to resolve your issue. If you have any more questions or this does not resolve your issue, please reach back out on the thread!
Cheers.
See Make a split library portable - Apple Community. There is a bug in recent builds that prevents an updated media folder preference from being saved in some circumstances. Moving the entire library as a unit when it is in the portable shape still works and is a better approach when it comes to backing up and future moves.

The part that says, "Change where imported files are stored", is the part I needed, but have already done, that I described in my post, that doesn't work. When I come back to Edit->Preferences->Advanced, the location is changed to what it was originally, as I said.
Shinehah,
Thank you for the additional information regarding your device.
What I would do since that is not working is reach out to Apple Support to see if they can assist you.
Cheers.
