Make Symbolic link for iTunes on Windows (No space)

Modified on Thu, 27 Feb at 10:27 AM

When doing a software update in iTunes, a DFU restore, or a backup, the C drive may be full. You can make a symbolic link to another drive.

Move these 2 folders to the corresponding place on another drive:

C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes -> D:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes

C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes -> D:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes

Then run this in an administrator command prompt:

mklink /d "C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes" "D:\Users\[Username] \AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes"

mklink /d "C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes" "D:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes"

icacls "C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes" /grant "Everyone:(OI)(CI)F"

icacls "D:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes" /grant "Everyone:(OI)(CI)F"
