Launcher overflows C: drive with Odyssey files, despite being installed on another drive

Windows 10: The launcher downloads Odyssey files into "Temporary Internet Files" or "INetCache" on the C: drive, even though the launcher and game are installed on a different drive.

This is a problem because my system SSD is very small.

To workaround this, I moved the OS's INetCache folder to another drive as follows:

1. I closed all apps besides Windows Explorer
2. in Windows Explorer, moved "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\INetCache" to my G: drive.
3. To restore the symlink, I launched an elevated command prompt and entered:

rmdir "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temporary Internet Files"
mklink /J "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temporary Internet Files" G:\INetCache
mklink /J "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\INetCache" G:\INetCache

4. Started the launcher and installed Odyssey

If you see "Play" before installing, you may need to verify game files before it will install.
