DELETE the "Unity" 'folder' (it's not actually a folder, but a shortcut) go to the folder " %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming"
To undo this and reset everything to default: " %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Unity" is no more a folder but instead a shortcut to "D:\UNITY_STORE_CACHE" Now, the path " %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Unity" is actually pointing to "D:\UNITY_STORE_CACHE" in the other disk. Notice how it is downloaded to the D:\UNITY_STORE_CACHE folder instead of the old one. Start Unity, open the package manager and download a new asset from your purchased assets on the store. the unity store cache is now linked to the new location. Mklink /D "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Unity" "D:\UNITY_STORE_CACHE" open a command prompt window and copy-paste this: (right click on the prompt) go inside the new directory and paste the cache pressing CTRL + V create a new directory in the D: root named open another file explorer window and go to the disk you want to move the cache to. select all the files and folders and copy them pressing CTRL + C open the file explorer and write this in the file path to go to the store cache folder:

Like, really, don't come later telling me you messed up something and you don't know how to fix it. IF YOU DON'T WANT OR KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH SUCH RISKS, DON'T DO THIS! MESSING WITH SYSTEM FILES IS ALWAYS RISKY. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS.

Ok, so full step by step tutorial to move the store cache folder to a folder on another disk on windows: It might be extremely easy to program, maybe 10 minutes tops of code change, but its not on there roadmap which means 10 minutes or 10 years, its about the same time. Would be nice to see this in version 3k or some high level in the next decade, but honestly do not hold your breath. Honestly, until Microsoft deals with the core problem like Linux has, which is probably coming, basically zero drive letters, just folders and drive space allocated to those folders regardless of physical storage medium, this will always pose some problem from app to app. I actually did that back in 2018 when i was running out of space and discovered this issue. I too wonder when or if will get addressed, but, in the mean time it doesn't matter because you can make a link to a different folder, i did that, on my D drive i have plenty of TB free where as on my C drive i am stuck with an on board ssd that is not replaceable and it is only 258gb (sick), so i created a folder on my D drive for the items in the AppData\Roaming\Unity folder to link to, so all of my assets are actually on my D drive and Unity app thinks they are on my C drive.
