Instruments installed to one drive appear to take up space on another drive (C drive) also

Daniel O Brien

I saw this same issue posted on another thread but it was never resolved (https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/comment/17959).

I have a separate SSD drive (D drive) to install my instruments on and I have set this in Native instruments via "Content Location" path. All other paths are left at the default value.

I can see this folder (on the D drive) being populated correctly.

However when I check my standard C drive I see the same instrument taking up space according to Settings - Apps - Installed Apps

I'm confused as to how this is happening and that it's taking up huge amounts of space on the wrong drive. Any ideas here?

Just delete the duplicates of the plugins inside the folders you don't need.

Or even better, just make a custom desktop folder for NI programs, then go to the File Management and just change the location to that folder.

I hope it fixes the bug.
