How to change 7-zip temp folder location

Open 7-zip, press F9 and the GUI will split into two zones.

Open your archive file using 7-zip, and navigate in the other zone to where you want to extract the files.

Simply drag and drop your files into your desired destination.

Recently, I needed to extract a very large zip file and ran into an issue where 7-zip was using a temp folder on my C: drive (where space was limited and insufficient).

So, I started looking for a solution.

At first, I found a setting in 7-zip to change the temp folder location to a different drive, but it wasn't working. It was still extracting and then copying the files from the temp folder on the C: drive.

Here is the solution from a Reddit post here.

The solution originally came from this post.

I'm recording this tip here for future reference.
