How to Move Offline Files Cache in Windows 7?
I've found the following to work well. I would advise to create a restore point prior to doing the following.
- Create a folder for your offline file cache. Something like
D:\Offline
. - From an elevated command prompt type the following:
Takeown /r /f C:\Windows\CSC
. - Open the Sync Center and go to Manage Offline Files.
- Click Disable Offline Files and restart the machine.
-
From an elevated command prompt issue the following commands:
rd /s C:\Windows\CSC mklink /J C:\Windows\CSC "D:\Offline"
(or whatever your folder name is, but be sure to use the quotes if you have space(s) in the name).
Reopen the Manage Offline Files window and Enable Offline Files.
- Restart the machine.
All files/folders that are made available offline should now be redirected to whichever folder you specified.
