Using mklink (Symbolic Link):
mklink /J "C:\Users\****\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\Cache" "D:\EdgeCache"
OR
Modify Edge Properties (for specific Edge versions):
- Right-click on the Edge shortcut and choose “Properties.”
- In the “Target” field, modify it to include the cache location:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MicrosoftEdge\Application\msedge.exe" --profile-directory=Default --disk-cache-dir=z:\MicrosoftEdge\Cache
Replace
z:\MicrosoftEdge\Cache
with your desired cache location.

Moving the browsing cache from Microsoft Edge to a secondary drive can help free up space on your primary drive. In my case a ramdrive.
