Temp Storage Issues - Need further clarification
I have been using DH for awhile now, and have noticed that DH uses a lot of disk space. Currently I sit at 20-22GB of storage space on my C Drive. I get dangerously close to filling up my C drive after playing with DH for awhile (around 10GB remaining), manually forcing a restart of the game to offload the storage used.
I searched through here to find a similar issue for an older version of DH https://discord.com/channels/881614130614767666/1154556278119608410, and learned the LOD data should be stored in my .minecraft folder.
In the past, I have always had storage issues, and once I ended up creating a symbolic link that directs my .minecraft folder into my 1TB D drive. In other words, my worlds and gamedata are saved in my D drive, and Minecraft references the .minecraft folder in my C drive to my D drive when playing. I assume this would be the same for any and all LOD files. However, my C drive continues to fill up while Minecraft w/DH is running.
This infers to me that the LOD data is temporarily stored somewhere else on my C drive while its being offloaded from RAM, and then properly stored into my .minecraft folder after the game closes. What file/files is LOD data being temporarily stored? I would like to make a symbolic link there as well to keep my C drive from filling up.
As for freeing up my C drive as a solution recommended in the post referenced above, I am currently working on that. However, I did an oopsie trying to touch OneDrive and currently I have files all over my C drive in desperation to return gamedata that uses the Document folder (Thanks Windows 😒)
If any other information is needed, tell me and I'll do my best to help.
