Windows 10: How can I fix my symbolic link?

I have an external SSD to store the Sims 4, and all my mods and custom content for the game. The game however, requires the mods folder to be in my document's folder on my computer. To resolve this, I decided to move the game to my computer, but establish a symbolic link between the mod folder on my laptop and the mod folder on my SSD, this way, I wouldn't need to have to store them all on my computer, but the game could still "find" them. The issue is that I found out that the symbolic link isn't actually "pointing to" the other mods folder, but instead, is copying all my files from the other

Symbolic link (Junction/s), how-to mklink? Please help with Junction?

Hi all, having been a member at Seven then Ten forums for a fair while I'm hoping to find a straight answer here..? Apologies in advance if this is too verbose.
Windows 10 system booting from (UEFI) NVME with 2xSSDs + 2 MHDDs for storage...

An application (Xperia Companion) which will not let me select or personalise the location for saving backups of my cellular phone data...

Think I found a fair definition of the differences at the Computer hope site which would suggest it's a Junction I need:

I want Xperia companion to save backups to F:\Sony Backups NOT the default C:\Users\GD\Documents\Sony. Would the Junction (link) allow me to to fulfill my wants and could someone please demonstrate the mklink commands needed?

with thanks and regards,
Dave

 

Symbolic Links - Can they be used locally?

Note that the the solution Denis suggested will work on many different devices. The symbolic linked folders is a Windows only solution.

 

Can't delete folders/files within a symbolic link or junction mklink

Thanks again. I just tried this - assuming a performed all steps correctly:



I then created the new symlink and got the same results when trying to delete a folder:
