I see where Media is stored and how to change it. Thanks On Windows? They're in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup You can't change them in itunes....but you can use mklink to move them somewhere else. I've done this to a more appropriate location. So from my directory above I ran this command: mklink /d Backup <new location>\Backup After copying the contents from the original location to the new location. |

Had to look to see where the added space on his C: drive was going and found that mobilesync folder. Damned arrogant of Apple to not allow you to choose where this stuff should be stored (apart from icloud). Grrrr. Thanks for the enlightenment, all. |
