How to make a file in localappdata location using powershell
I am trying to create a file in the localappdata location in powershell. i have tried using $env:localappdata but it just shows the localappdata location just like write-host C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local. I want to go to that location but it cant be done like in cmd i can just do cd %localappdata%. My main goal is to create a file there and delete it at certain condition. How do I change directory to %localappdata% location?
if you want to change the current directory to go to AppData, try set-location $env:LOCALAPPDATA
if you want to write content to the folder
did you try something like this
New-Item -Path "$($env:LOCALAPPDATA)\NewContent.txt"

I have a similar issue where I am trying to change the path to point to a folder on c:/ but it's not accepting the command? Could you provide me details on how to correct my mistake?
I've added images, I'm looking to point to a folder on the c:/
