How can i to modify the folder path of .platformio

hi
there have a quesstion-> when i finish platformio installed with vscode, that create a new folder “.platformio” at %userprofile% path, this path is in c: driver (my os win10), how can i to modify this path
move %userprofile% /.paltformio/ from c : driver to other driver(d: e: and so on…) tks.

You could try setting core_dir as per Redirecting.... But that would be needed in all projects.

Probably best to do this before downloading frameworks, toolchains etc.

Alternatively, uninstall first, set the environment variable PLATFORMIO_CORE_DIR and reinstall.

This would need tobe a permanent setting, otherwise you are back needing core_dir in your projects again.

See Environment variables — PlatformIO latest documentation for details of all the environment variables you can use.

Cheers,
Norm.

thank u,i have follow the step of u mentioned, the operation sequence as below 1.) uninstall platformio extensions 2.)removed the forders of these path “%HOMEPATH%.vscode\extensions\platformio.platformio-ide-2.2.1” and “%HOMEPATH%.platformio” 3.) seting system environment variable “PLATFORMIO_CORE_DIR=D:\CodeDeveloper\Platformio” 4.) uninstall Visual Studio Code then restart computer when finished uninstall. 5.) removed "%HOMEPATH%.vscode" forder. 6.) install Visual Studio Code 7.) install extensions of platformio ide in vscode
8.) install embedded platform espressif32 in vscode of platformio extensions. 9.) finally create a new project. but In this step, that can not be correctly create a new project and vscode show error message just like this -------->
