In a domain environment, the roaming is used to copy the user's environment as they log on to different computers The appdata\local folder in windows vista is the same as the documents and settings\<username>\local settings\application data folder in windows xp You can find a description in the windows file system namespace usage.

The temp folder is not always deleted, even after proper shutdowns, and the space can pile up to large proportions
You don't need to delete the folder itself though, only its content
It will fail deleting everything and will complain that some files are in use Just say ignore for all occurrences. I would like to know the full list of variables that i can use in windows explorer or related relative paths that is accepted by windows 10 Navigate to c:\users\username\appdata execute the following command
Mklink /d local d:\appdata\local replace d:\appdata\local with the actual path of where you moved the appdata to If you cannot move/delete the original copy, create a 2nd user, make it administrator, login with it, and retry the option This should ensure that no files are in. Why are there directories called local, locallow, and roaming under \users\<username>\appdata

The folder under user\appdata\roaming does exist, and i can access it manually through windows explorer However, the win + r method i described earlier doesn't work. Can i copy the appdata/roaming of usera to userb and expect it to work I recently updated a pc to windows 10 home (from win7)
I would just correct that what the op is asking about are not any special directories or shortcuts but regular environment variables They may contain any numeric or alphanumeric value, some of them just contain filesystem paths The second problem is i'm almost certain %appdata% contains hardlinks, and if it does, it's why it's not intended to ever be moved, since doing so would break those hardlinks, resulting in a malformed user profile.
