The following solution works, although it's not amazingly elegant:
- Make sure storage emulator is not running, i.e. shut it down from the notifications area if necessary.
- Move the folder in your local AppData folder to where you want it. It will be called something like
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\dftmp
. - Open a command prompt with administrator permissions and
cd
to theAppData\Local
folder. For examplecd \Users\\AppData\Local
. - Create a 'junction link' using the following command:
mklink /J dftmp X:\folder\to\where\you\moved\dftmp
- Restart the storage emulator and enjoy having the files on a different drive or in a different location.
