Vortex is storing mods across two different drives

Good Afternoon,

So today whilst trying to clean out one of my drives, I noticed that vortex was storing the mods across two different drives. I have it set to download into a data drive that I have that is meat to also be the mod staging drive.

The issue is vortex is also placing all of the mods in the same drive as all the games im using it for, taking up double the space. Is there a reason for this? I can't really afford 1tb+ of total mod storage twice over.

Using the default deployment method the mod staging folder has to be on the same drive as the game.   The downloaded archives can be on a different drive.

However, since it uses links to deploy the mods rather than moving the files, it doesn't actually take up double space.  One file is real, the other is just a pointer to the real file.
