To the best of my knowledge there's no Valve/Steam supported method but a junction/symlink would allow you to functionally move it elsewhere.
You cannot move the appdata folder as that's a windows system folder where apps put temp data. Nearly every program you run will use it.
I know that but I think that somehow it's possible to change where the program dumps the files I believe, at least it worked for chrome after adding some commands in the exe
I recovered 700 to 800 MB by deleting 2 "htmlcache" folders, restarted steam, it took a few seconds extra to start but it works fine. Size now under 5MB, many of the files were over a year old so probably weren't in use.
Move (not Copy) folder Steam (for example, or htmlcache) to location or drive you want (D:\links\Steam for example), run CMD as administrator and type:
mklink /d "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Steam" "D:\links\Steam"
Thats all.
In C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\ was created shortcut "Steam" leads to D:\links\Steam all new files will be created there.
MKLINK is very usefull command to move all crap out of SSD.
Awesome, thanks
and target folder for it D:\links\Steam, any file or folder inside D:\links\Steam could be deleted
