Chrome is known for his ultra-small volume and ultra-fast loading speed is known, but Big brand also always have a big shelf, first of all, the installation directory can not be changed, this is for Virgo and C drive neat freak is not tolerable, but, the most annoying is that even the cache path can not change, you know, The volume of the cache can be more than the size of the software in minutes, and this is more detrimental to users of SSDs, and frequent write deletion will quickly reduce the life of the hard disk, so today we have some way to modify the Chrome browser cache directory, and to upgrade casually.

1. Find the directory you want to kill, such as

C:\Users\Ryan\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data

2. Create a new directory in another disk, such as

D:\ChromeCache

3. Remove the original directory

4. Run cmd as Administrator, enter

mklink/d "C:\Users\Ryan\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data" D:\ChromeCache
This piece of code

5. Directory Transfer Success

Using this command in theory can be any directory in other places to do a re-pointing, white point is that the original folder into a shortcut, and this shortcut to your own any given directory, in addition to Chrome,opera can not modify the cache directory, So through this way is quite convenient, and some other migration software such as "C-drive move" do not know if it is also used this way, we are interested to try (the system has collapsed don't come to me ha)
