Windows 10: How can I fix Symbolik/Junction link issue?

I tried to use the symbolic link method again, but every time I do, it would say, "Can't create files when that file already exists" I tried using different folders, files, and everything, but no matter what, it keeps saying it, and I deleted the original folder from the C drive and place the folder in the D drive, but it keeps happening. How do I fix this issue?

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

 

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:

Thank you, You need to restore original security across the whole drive. First Step: Delete all Junction points, Run chkdsc F: /f Sec Step: Give complete Ownership of the drive to SYSTEM. Trird Step: Then reproduce exactly the following for the root of the drive.

Apply and replace everything recursively. Try to create a new junction and test it.
