.nuget Folder in User space

Tags:

Due to a problem with my storage, I need to delete or change location of many folder in my User space, but I see a .nuget folder and I would like to know if there is a way in Visual Studio 2016 to change the location of this folder?

It includes all the packages downloaded for my projects and it takes a lot of space.

Set the globalPackagesFolder propety in your nuget.config and you can point this to any location on your drive. For an overview of the NuGet.config file check out our documentation here.

E.g

<configuration>
  <config>
    <add key="globalPackagesFolder" value="..\..\GlobalPackages2" />
  </config>
</configuration>
