Can you change the drive/folder where cache is stored?

[kurtricketts]

Is it possible to change the folder location where cache is stored? We have limited space on the main drive C: and when refreshing some of our reports which can be greater than 500mb, the cache exceeds the available space on the drive and errors. We have a few extra drives for file storage which would be ideal to store the cache and I was able to install Power BI Desktop to the 😧 drive, but when I launch a report the cache is still being stored on the C: drive. Any advice for my situation? Ideally we'd have PBI Desktop installed on 😧 and all refresh/cache storage on 😧 as well.

I'm having this same issue. Did you find a means to change the drive where the cache files are stored? If not is there a method to delete them as soon as the pbix file is refreshed?

Thanks, Mark

@kurtricketts,

Haven't found any options which can change the cache directory. However, you can click File-> Options-> Auto Recovery and click on "Disable auto recovery for this file".
