Question

Which folder is the downloaded app stored in the "Windows Subsystem for Android" and how to change its storage path to a different disk?

Answer 1

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Applications downloaded in Windows Subsystem for Android are usually stored in a hidden folder in the system drive. The exact path is: C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe.

Unfortunately, Microsoft does not support changing the storage path of Windows Subsystem for Android. The subsystem and its related components are deeply integrated into the system, and moving them may cause system instability and other problems. If you are running out of space on your system drive, you may consider moving other less important files or programs to another disk.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best Regards,

Yanhong Liu
