Is "PlayOnLinux's virtual drives" folder necessary? - Dad and Daughter Having Fun and Laughing While Looking at the Smartphone

I am trying out playonlinux and it created a symlink called "PlayOnLinux's virtual drives" in my ~ directory which I don't like. It is just a symlink to ~/.PlayOnLinux//wineprefix/ anyway, so is the symlink really necessary?

I'd rather just unlink it or even name it something more concise, but I don't want to screw anything up with the games or installations.



Best Answer

As you said, it’s just a symlink intended for the user to more easily find PlayOnLinux's wine prefix directories. You can savely rename or remove it, the software doesn’t rely on it.
