Hello

I have system on small SSD, is ok, just I have problem with DerivedDataCache location.
I moved everything to my other drive, but I see, this folder is already over 10GB, what is problem for me. Engine, Vault Cache etc is on my second drive.

How I can move, set up Unreal Engine to use different drive than
C:\Users\ThisUser\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine\Common\DerivedDataCache ?

Thank’s++

I haven’t tested it but in Editor Preferences there is a setting for Local Derived Data Cache folder (General - global, Derived Data…).

If that doesn’t work you could make a symbolic link folder / directory junction which is sort of like a shortcut for files/folders. This article (not mine) should help: http://blog.danieljost.com/symbolic-links-save-space-ssd/ see "Putting any folder onto another drive ".

Thank you, simple and great help :slight_smile: I have few projects for different game parts, so some more work, but this is it. I will study this blog more, I have in W10 settings for other drives, but not always it works as I can expect.
