"Never record audio to the drive used for DAW etc.."

hi. New here...

If I implement the ...

 to move "C:\Cakewalk Projects" to D:\ and making a directory junction to the new location. To do this,

1) in Windows Explorer move the "Cakewalk Projects" folder from C:\ to D:\ then

2) open a command window as administrator and type:

mklink /d "C:\Cakewalk Projects" "D:\Cakewalk Projects"

...and I screw up. What would be the command to undo (put things back to normal)

Thanks

It's very hard to mess up.

The possible errors are:

• Already having something in the file system with the same name. In this case copying "C:\Cakewalk Projects" instead of moving it. This will cause mklink to fail because it cannot create a link using the name that already exists on the disk.
• Mistyping the mklink command. 
• Not have sufficient permissions to perform the task.

To undo the process, delete the directory junction and put the folder back in its original location.

I have always heard that. But I imagine it doesn't matter as much these days with the speeds of SSD's and M.2s. But I would think the best benefit would be to having the data stored not on the OS drive, that way if it (the OS drive)  becomes corrupted or has to be reinstalled the data is still separate and doesn't need moved.
