As an insane person who moved all my folders to the D drive, it’s absurd how many big companies hard code C:\Users\you\AppData\Roaming

    The hardcoded AppData path is the main reason I had to spring for a larger system drive a few years ago despite not installing any programs to it. Gradle/NuGet/every other package manager were the main culprits, with Microsoft themselves coming second. Every few months I'd clear out their caches and "temporary" file folders and it'd free up tens of gigabytes.

    I'd mess around with symbolic links to move it to another drive if I didn't half-expect Windows to break them at some point.
