  1. To create Symbolic links you have to type the following command as shown below.
    **My configuration based on my setup. **
    /D “C:\Users\borbon\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Cache” F:\OperaCache

“C:\Users\borbon\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Media Cache” F:\OperaMediaCache

**Default – Simply copy, paste & edit this command based on your preferred destination. **

mklink /D “C:\Users\AdminName\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Cache” D:\OperaCache

/D “C:\Users\AdminName\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Media Cache” D:\OperaMediaCache

Checking the new Opera cache destination

  1. One done, you can go back to your Local folder Open Software Opera Stable on your drive C and you will find newly created a folder which is pointed to your new Opera cache file directory.

  2. To check go simply right-click the folder and choose properties. As shown below, it was redirected to my drive F.
