Problem Statement

Claude Cowork's VM bundle (rootfs.vhdx, sessiondata.vhdx, etc.) is stored in a hardcoded location under %LocalAppData%\...\claudevm.bundle\

The bundle is already ~12 GB after initial setup, and sessiondata.vhdx grows over time as the VM accumulates state. On systems where C: is with limited capacity, this footprint is significant and unavoidable — there is currently no way to relocate it to a secondary drive. NTFS junctions (mklink /J) fail. There is no reliable user-side workaround.

For me, it's quite unconvenient. I have to move other files to D: to continue use Cowork.

• OS: Windows 11
• Latest Claude Desktop

Proposed Solution

Add a setting in Claude Desktop (Settings → Cowork) that lets users specify a custom storage location for the VM. When changed, the app should either migrate the existing bundle to the new location or download it fresh there on next startup.
