So is my harddrive just gonna fill up infinitely until there is no more available space on it or is the blocks gonna delete them selves when a new one is coming out.

C:\Users\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\AppData\Roaming\Zcash - This folder is currently at 6gb and if it keeps increasing like this , at some point my ssd is gonna run out of space.

Is there a flag to put the blockchain data in a different location (e.g. a different drive)?

I tried fooling it with a shortcut (I’m running Win7), but it just creates a new directory with the same name and starts filling it up again.
