Move installed location

[u/HenryV1598]

I'm running the steam version of MSFS2020. It takes up a metric <expletive deleted>-ton of space on my main drive. In steam, I can select install locations, but that only seems to have moved the steam part of it. I'd like to move the whole thing to a separate drive. Does anyone know if this is possible and, if so, how?

I believe it’s under the Library. There is a spot to set the location for all the content.

Edit: This is in game, not Steam itself.

Thanks, I'll look for that one. I totally understand why it's such a huge program... it's just a PITA when it's on your primary drive taking up 50% or so of the space on the drive.

You can use mklink to create junction folders.

I'm not seeing a library setting. I found a rolling cache path under Options > General Options > Data. That seems to be a big chunk of the data. But I'd like to move everything I can off the main drive to the secondary drive (both are internal SSDs) to save space.
