Moving offline files in Windows 7 can be a bit tricky. You’ll either need to create some new registry keys or create a symbolic link. Both methods are outlined in this tutorial and should be easy to follow for everyone. If you need additional help, leave a comment.

Method 1: Move Offline Files via Registry

1. Disable offline files in Windows 7 (if you don’t know how, read this: How to disable offline files)

2. Open regedit and uncollapse [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CSC\Parameters]

3. Create a new string with the name “CacheLocation” in the right pane.

4. Change the path to your new Offline files folder! The path has to be in the following format:

\??\e:\csc

(replace E:\CSC with your new folder location)

5. Restart your PC, enable offline files again (works the same way as disabling offline files), reboot again.

Method 2: Move Offline Files via Symbolic Link

1. Create a new folder for your offline files.
2. Open elevated command prompt (Tutorial: How to open command prompt)
3. Take ownership of your old offline files folder. Enter: Takeown /r /f C:\Windows\CSC
4. Disable Offline Files (Tutorial: How to disable offline files)
5. Run the following commands via command prompt:

rd /s C:\Windows\CSC
mklink /J C:\Windows\CSC “E:\New_Offline_Files_Folder”
