Windows 10: Mklink /j ,/d delete link folder contents

If I created a acrobat dc folder that has a link to d drive. When I use the /j the contents of the directory remain ,. Is it to use del *.* In a batch file that is in the c:\batch\ *.* . Would that delete the link? Would the link still work? John

C windows installer folder - Delete?

He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink
Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

Like:
First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
Then type this in command mode as admin
mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

 

mklink /D - symbolic link created but file access is denied via the link

I have been struggling with the EXACT same issue with mklink for months. Now it is no longer an issue and no longer errors out. Did the permission chain for mklink changed in build 14926???

For anyone that is having this issue, turn on Insider Previews get the Fast build. It should install build 14926.

I can now mklink /D, mklink /J, mklink file1 file2 without problems.

Can a Microsoft Representative confirm that the permission chains in Group Policy were 'fixed'?
