tldr
open YGO game dir, on windows mostly is
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel\LocalData

keep one directory (for example, 1aaa234), delete other directory but remember their name,

soft link 1aaa234 to other directory name.

- windows command (runas Administrator) :
mklink /d 1aaa234 5hqw2e3

- linux command:
ln -s 1aaa234 5hqw2e3

[windows] add a explorer shortcut to open a Administrator cmd.exe window
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\runas] @="Admin Command Here" "NoWorkingDirectory"="" "HasLUAShield"="" "Position"="Top" "Icon"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\runas\command] @="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""

save as filename.reg, just double click, and choose Yes.

reopen explorer, now you can right-click on an empty space in the folder and quickly launch a command window with administrator privileges.
