问题


I have got plenty of Windows SDKs installed with Visual Studio. The two directories Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs and Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits take a lot of space (approx. 2 GB). Can I move these directories to another volume to reclaim some space on my small SSD C: drive? Can NTFS links to folders or junction points be used to do it? I mean to let it think the files are still in their original places but to place them physically to a different place on a different volume.

Similar question was already asked ( Safely move Microsoft SDKs folder ), but neither NTFS links nor NTFS junction points were discussed there.


回答1:


Never tried, but I'd do it the UNIX way - move them and put an NTFS junction (pointing to the new location) in the original position, I don't see why it shouldn't work.




回答2:


Yes, just to confirm Matteo's guess: I've done it using NTFS junction, and works perfectly fine.
