    How to change the location of Offline Files Cache?


    At present the Offline Files are stored on my C Drive but I'd like to change that to another drive.

    Coz it's an NVMe SSD and all the others are external HDDs, and the content of the Offlince Cache are just videos and pictures that don't warrant an NVMe SSD. Unnecessary space occupied.

    Who says? The drive is always going to get written to and Cache is best to be left on the fastest drive. That SSD is going to outlast you way longer than you will be alive.
