How to change adobe flash player cache location in home directory?

Default location is ~/.adobe/Flash_Player/AssetCache but I would like to move it to ~/.cache

1 Answer

Would creating a symlink suffice? I.e.

ln -s ~/.adobe/Flash_Player/AssetCache ~/.cache/AssetCache

Note this still stores the data at the original location and the symlink is at ~/.cache. You can also do the reverse if you first move the cache (make sure flash is closed when you do this):

mv ~/.adobe/Flash_Player/AssetCache ~/.cache/
ln -s ~/.cache/AssetCache ~/.adobe/Flash_Player/AssetCache

Also as Eliah Kagan pointed out as ~/.cache already exists, it's better to place the adobe cache inside this location if desired.

I'm not sure whether adobe will let you change this setting - I've never come across this option anywhere.
