Mid ka mid ah qaybaha ugu niyad jabka badan ee haysta SSD yar oo u heellan nidaamkaaga hawlgalka Windows waa xaqiiqda ah in rakibayaasha software qaarkood si fudud ku siin doonin ikhtiyaarka aad ku rakibto meel ka baxsan darawalnimada aasaasiga ah.

Waxaa jira xitaa codsiyada qaarkood oo kuu oggolaanaya inaad ku kaydiso xogtaada rakibaadda wadista sare laakiin weli ku meel gaadh faylalka kaydinta ee darawalka aasaasiga ah. Qof kasta oo xiisaynaya in uu darawalkiisa kowaad u ahaado mid wanaagsan oo nadiif ah, tani waxay noqon kartaa arrin weyn.

Spotify waa mid ka mid ah codsiyada badan ee Windows in aad aakhirka ka heli doontaa inaad qaadato khariban oo dhan meel bannaan. Tani waxay sabab u tahay habka Spotify maxalli ah u kaydiyo xogtaada si aadan si joogto ah dib-u-socod music off of server ay. Waxa ay u adeegtaa sidii daw ay Spotify ku badbaadin lahayd xadhkaha xadhkaha goosadka oo ay isla markaaba u gudbiso muusiggaaga adiga oo aan u baahnayn in la kaydiyo.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, tani waxay ku timaadaa qiimo kuwa naga mid ah oo isku dayaya inaan badbaadino booska diskka ee qaaliga ah. Qof kastaa ma awoodi karo inuu haysto dhowr gigabytes oo ah xogta Spotify maxaliga ah ee darawalkooda aasaasiga ah, warka wanaagsani waa in ay jirto waddo ku wareegsan. Aynu ka hadalno sida aad u rari karto xogta kaydka maxaliga ah ee Spotify meel cusub oo gudaha Windows ah .

Sida loo Bedelo Goobta Xogta Spotify^{(Spotify Data)} ee Windows

Si aan hawshan u gudanno, waxaan isticmaaleynaa shay la yiraahdo isku xirka astaanta ama isku xirka hagaha. Isku xirka hagaha ayaa si wax ku ool ah u abuura muraayada xogtaada hal dariiqo laakiin dhab ahaantii waxay ku kaydisaa xogta mid kale.

Waxa ugu horreeya ee aan u baahan doonno inaan sameyno waa inaan helno sida saxda ah ee galka xogta Spotify ee dhabta ah uu yahay. Si aad sidaas u samayso, taabo furayaasha Windows + R si aad u keento Run degdeg ah. Halkan, ku qor " %localappdata " oo tabo Gelida^(Enter) .

Tani waa inay soo saartaa daaqada Windows Explorer ee galka ^{(Windows Explorer)}AppData\Local ee ku dhex jira goobta astaanta isticmaalaha Windows . Liiskan faylasha, hel galka Spotify oo fur.

Galka xogta^(Data) ee ku dhex jira waa waxa ka kooban dhammaan xogtaada muusiga ee kaydsan. Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad rabto inaad midigta gujiso oo aad doorato Properties si aad u aragto inta uu le'eg yahay galkan. Miyay aad u weyn tahay inaad jeceshahay inaad ka guurto darawalkaaga hadda oo aad u guurto mid kale? Wayn! Taasi waa waxa aan sameyn doono xiga.

Talaabada ugu horeysa waa in la hubiyo in Spotify uusan hadda ku socon mashiinkaaga. Kadib markaad hubiso inay xiran tahay, waxaad dooneysaa inaad doorato galka xogta^(Data) oo riix furayaasha Ctrl + C si aad u koobiyeyso.

Marka xigta, soo qaado daaqad labaad ee Windows Explorer meesha aad rabto inaad u guurto xogta Spotify . Goobtaas, taabo Ctrl + V si aad u dhejiso galka.

Kor^(Above) , waxaad arki kartaa inaan sameeyay meel cusub oo lagu kaydiyo xogtayda D:\craig\Spotify . Galka xogta ee^(Data) la dhejiyay halkan waxa ku jira waxa ku jira isla galkaas C:\Users\craig\AppData\Local\Spotify .

Marka xigta, hubi in labada fayl ay isku mid yihiin. Fiiri labadooda gudahooda si aad u aragto inaad si buuxda u koobiyaysay dhammaan faylasha si sax ah. Marka la dhammeeyo, ku laabo meesha asalka ah ee galka Spotify ( daaqaddayada ugu horreysa ee Windows Explorer ee ^{(Windows Explorer)}AppData\Local ), dooro galka Xogta^(Data) ee aan hadda soo koobiyaynay, oo ku dhufo furaha Delete si aad u tirtirto.^(Delete)

Marka xigta, waxaanu samayn doonaa isku xidhka hagaha si faylkaaga cusub ee Xogta^(Data) uu farta ugu fiiqdo meeshi hore ahaan jiray. Si aad sidaas u samayso, taabo furayaasha Windows + R si aad mar kale u keento Run - gudbinta. Ku qor " cmd ", laakiin hubi inaad riixdo Ctrl + Shift + Enter (halkii Geli^(Enter) kaliya ) - tani waxay u socotaa isla markiiba maamulaha^{(Administrator)} .

Tani waa halka aan ka bilaabi doono inaan abuurno isku xirka hagaha. Waxaad dooneysaa inaad ku qorto amarka soo socda: mklink /j <link> <target> , halkaasoo <link> ay tahay waddada loo maro galka asalka ah (oo aan dib u abuureyno) iyo <target> waa waddada loo maro galka cusub (taas waanu dhejinay).

Tusaalahayga sare, waxaan maamuli lahaa amarkan: mklink /j C:\Users\craig\AppData\Local\Spotify D:\craig\Spotify

Waa muhiim in lagu daro dariiqyada galka calamadaha xigashada haddii ay meel bannaan ku jiraan.

Waxaad arki doontaa fariinta guusha ka dib marka la sameeyo isgoysyada hagaha. Waa inaad sidoo kale aragto in galka Xogta^(Data) uu hadda mar kale ka soo muuqdo goobtayagii asalka ahaa, markan oo leh summada "goob gaaban" oo yar oo ku taal geeska bidix ee hoose.

Waa kaas! Hadda, marka aad ku ciyaarto muusikada Spotify , waxay weli kaydin doontaa xogtaas ku jirta galka asalka ah ee goobtaada isku xirka. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, isgoysyada hagaha ayaa si toos ah ugu guuri doona goobta cusub oo "muraayad" ku dhejin doonta goobta asalka ah.

Kuwa idinka mid ah oo isticmaala Spotify maalin kasta, sannadaha isticmaalka joogtada ah waxay sababi karaan galkan si ay u bararaan cabbir weyn. Habkan fudud ee isku xidhka hagaha, waxaad ku kaydin kartaa dhammaan xogtaas gal kasta oo wadwa kasta ah.

Waxa ugu fiican ayaa ah in isla nidaamkan uu faa'iido u yeelan karo xaalado kale oo badan oo faa'iido leh - hubi sida aan u isticmaalno isku xirka calaamadda si aan isugu dhejino faylalka Dropbox iyo OneDrive^{(sync folders to Dropbox and OneDrive)} !

How to Change the Location of Spotify’s Local Storage in Windows

One of the most frustrating parts of having a small ЅSD dedicated to your Windows operating system is thе fact that some software installers simplу won’t give yоu the optіon of instаlling outside of the primarу drive.

There are even some applications that allow you to store your installation data on a secondary drive but still place temporary or cache files on the primary drive. For anyone interested in keeping their primary drive nice and tidy, this can be a major issue.

Spotify is one of the many Windows applications that you’ll eventually find taking up a whole mess of space. This is due to the way Spotify locally caches your data so that you aren’t constantly re-streaming music off of their servers. It serves as a way for Spotify to save bandwidth and instantly deliver your music without needing to buffer.

However, this comes at a price for those of us trying to save precious disk space. Not everyone can afford to have several gigabytes of local Spotify data on their primary drive, and the good news is that there’s a way around it. Let’s talk about how you can move Spotify’s local cache data to a new location within Windows.

How to Change the Location of Spotify Data in Windows

To perform this task, we’re going to use something called a symbolic link or directory junction. A directory junction effectively creates a mirror of your data at one file path but actually stores the data in another.

The first thing we’re going to need to do is to find exactly where our Spotify’s data folder actually is. To do so, press the Windows + R keys to bring up a Run prompt. Here, type in “%localappdata” and press Enter.

This should bring up a Windows Explorer window of the AppData\Local folder within your Windows user profile location. In this list of files, find the Spotify folder and open it.

The Data folder within is what contains all of your cached music data. You may want to right-click on it and select Properties to see how large this folder is. Is it so big that you’d like to move it off of your current drive and onto another? Great! That’s what we’re going to do next.

The first step is to be sure that Spotify is not currently running on your machine. After making sure that it’s closed, you want to select the Data folder and press the Ctrl + C keys to copy it.

Next, bring up a second Windows Explorer window of the location where you want to move your Spotify data. At that location, press Ctrl + V to paste the folder.

Above, you can see that I’ve created a new location to store my data at D:\craig\Spotify. The pasted Data folder here contains the contents of that same folder in C:\Users\craig\AppData\Local\Spotify.

Next, be sure that the two folders are identical. Look inside both of them to see that you’ve fully copied all of the files properly. Once complete, go back to the original Spotify folder location (in our first Windows Explorer window at AppData\Local), select the Data folder that we just copied, and hit the Delete key to delete it.

Next, we’re going to create a directory junction so that your new Data folder points to where the old one once was. To do so, press the Windows + R keys to again bring up the Run prompt. Type in “cmd”, but be sure to press Ctrl + Shift + Enter (instead of just Enter)—this runs the prompt as Administrator.

This is where we’ll begin to create our directory junction. You want to type in the following command: mklink /j <link> <target>, where <link> is the path to the original folder (that we’re recreating) and <target> is the path to the new folder (that we’ve pasted).

In my example above, I’d run this command: mklink /j C:\Users\craig\AppData\Local\Spotify D:\craig\Spotify

It’s important to enclose the folder paths in quotation marks if they contain a space.

You’ll see a success message after the directory junction has been created. You should also see that the Data folder now appears again at our original location, this time with the small “shortcut” icon at the bottom-left corner.

That’s it! Now, when you play music in Spotify, it will still cache that data in the original folder at your link location. However, the directory junction will automatically move it to the new location and “mirror” it at the original location.

For those of you who use Spotify on a daily basis, years of regular use can cause this folder to swell to a massive size. With this simple directory junction trick, you can store all of that data in any folder on any drive.

Best of all is that this same procedure can be useful in many other useful scenarios—check out how we use a symbolic link to sync folders to Dropbox and OneDrive!
