Sorry, if not in the right forum...

Sadly my SSD is not unlimited in size... So I had to move certain files from the SSD to my other drive.

I did this e.g. for the folder

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs



And then I made a directory symbolic link instead:

mklink /D "Microsoft SDKs" "e:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\"

But with every update of VS2017 the symbolic link gets deleted and the real folder is restored.

Is there a method to prevent this?
