Hi there! I have everything installed on my D Drive but when I work on a project it takes up space on my C Drive. When I close Unreal Engine it free up space on my C Drive again and everything is back to normal. I asked on Reddit why this is and I got this answer:
(It is the shader folder in Users\name\AppData\Local , there is a folder called UnrealEngine that stores the compiled shaders. This can take up a lot of space, (100gb+). You can cut and paste it to another location and then create a symbolic link from the old folder to the new one. Make sure you have UE closed when doing this.
CMD for the Link: mklink “C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine” “D:\NewUnrealEngine”)
First of all, is this correct? If it is, I was wondering if I should cut and paste what’s in the UnrealEngine-folder or should I cut and past the folder itself?
I would be super-grateful if you could help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Tommy
