How to move cache location from disk C to other?

Thats it, its on C by default and its almost full(its small windows ssd), help.

Edit
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\production_Config.ini

Make a directory on driver whatever, X for example called PoE_Cache

Add this under [GENERAL]
cache_directory=X:\PoE_Cache\

If it's not going on an SSD you are going to be very, very sad.

The game "cache" is quite poorly handled.
On top of everything else you also have to clear it manually.


Those folders content may be bloating your drive for no reason, it's safe to delete it at any time:

"

"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\Countdown"
"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\DailyDealCache"
"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\MOTDCache"
"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\ShopImages"
"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\SupporterPackSet"
"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\PaymentPackage"

Those are are the "cache" that is still used by the game but it's value is close to 0, the game generating shaders for every new location anyway and almost never using the already cached content.

"

\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\ShaderCacheVulkan"
\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\ShaderCacheD3D12"
\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\ShaderCacheD3D11"

Keep the folder that is corresponding to your chosen renderer type and delete everything else.

"

"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\Minimap"

is the minimap cache that is only valid during a gameplay session. Its content is irrelevant once the area instance is expired yet the game keeps it forever.


Once you delete the junk you may no longer need to move the cache. But if you still do note that it's can be done by using symlinks instead.
