Lightroom is a very powerful tool, but for some reason, it's not possible to configure the location of a catalog's preview cache. They are always saved in a folder next to the as*ociated catalog. Like other operating systems, Windows has the (not very widely known) ability to create symbolic links to files and folders. Simply put, a symbolic link is a thing that looks and behave like a file or a folder, but actually points to another file or folder. In our case, this allows us to move the preview cache to another location, without Lightroom noticing! If your catalog is named Lightroom Catalog.lrcat, the preview cache folder will be Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata. Then, create a symbolic link with the name of the folder you just moved, pointing to the new location of the preview cache folder. This way, the previews will be physically located wherever you want (for example on an SSD), but Lightroom will still find them where it To do that, open a command prompt, and use the mklink command. If you don't know how to open a command prompt, the easiest way is to go in your Lightroom folder, then type cmd in the address bar, and Note: quotes are required around the paths if they contain spaces. If you did everything properly, you should end up with something like that: And voilà! Now you can start Lightroom and check everything still works as expected
