Hey all - I have a 64gb SSD for my OS. its currently with 3% free space.. I cant remove the index files as they just get remade. Ive put a shortcut per-say in the exact location for index files so that they get made on my 3TB Q: drive. Windows ignores this and stilll makes the indexing files on C... irritating. Even changed the registry settings.. Doesnt care..
Temp files are a billion times worse. --- At every single section on my PC where temp file directories are defined. They are all set to Q:/temp or something similar in my Q 3TB drive.. Windows also ignores this. Makes all the temp files in C.
Ive done alot of searching around and tried different tricks like i mentioned above putting a link at the location of the temp files so that it puts the files on Q should it try to put them on C and that doesnt work either..
so to recap.
Ive gone into my system settings and changed everything for temp files to Q: drive. And still all files are made on C.. giving me no space.. Ever. and whenever i need to install something. I cant!. Because it temps the files to C before even opening the installer.. Same thing with watching youtube videos.. Even though all my browsers are set to temp file to Q.. Nope they temp to C. its so frustrating its driving me completely insane.
What am i doing wrong here guys? I cant think of a single thing that could FORCE any type of TEMPORARY file made by ANY APPLICATION to always go to my 3TB drive Q:...
Ive asked around and no ones been able to help!
Really hoping the guys here at tomshardware can! Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!!
