I'm running out of disk space for the default location of the feature store C:\\Users\\user \\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\. I'd like to change the location of the feature store to a different hard drive. I've change the environmental variable of the TEMP folder but this didn't update the location of the feature store?

Hi @dos_gis,

 

You likely need to re-start your machine after setting the FME_TEMP environment variable.

 

In addition, I would ensure that the folder/path name of the new TEMP folder does not have any spaces or special characters in it to prevent any other problems.

 

Let us know if you are still encountering a problem.

Hi @dos_gis

If you add the FME_TEMP environment variable and then specify the path this will change you temp folder for FME.

I did that. Unfortunately, it didn't help. I need to change the location of the Feature Store:
