This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to create a directory symbolic link from the %appdata%\CVATAAT folder to another folder located on a different disk. This could be useful if you do not have enough disk space in %appdata% which is located on system drive
%appdata%\CVATAAT.In Exporer, type the following path into address bar and press Enter:
%appdata%
CVATAAT directory exists in %appdata%.D:\CVATAAT)Press Win + S to open the search bar. Type cmd or Command Prompt. Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
Use the mklink command to create a symbolic link. Replace D:\CVATAAT with your desired destination path. Run the following command:
mklink /D "%appdata%\CVATAAT" "D:\CVATAAT"
/D creates a directory symbolic link.
%appdata%\CVATAAT is the name of the link and where it will be created.
D:\CVATAAT is the path to the directory where you want the link to point.
Output of this command should be something like this: symbolic link created for CVATAAT <<===>> D:\CVATAAT
Now, any data written to %appdata%\CVATAAT will be redirected to D:\CVATAAT (or your specified destination). This setup is generally compatible with most software, but it's always good to test with specific applications you plan to use.
Remember, symbolic links are powerful tools but should be used cautiously, as incorrect usage can lead to data loss or system instability. Always ensure you have backups before modifying system directories and links.
