Where are network drives cached on my local system?

I'm looking for information on where the locally cached files for my network drives are stored. My C drive is very small and only has Windows and a few essential programs. I've tried searching for the location, but I can't find it anywhere. I'd prefer to point the cache to one of my larger HDDs or SSDs instead, but Google hasn't been much help.

If your other drives are connected directly to your computer, they won't show up as network drives. They should just appear under 'This PC' in Windows Explorer. If you’re talking about a network-attached storage (NAS) and how to add network drives, let me know!

Typically, network drives shouldn’t consume too much cache. It seems like you might need to provide a bit more information about your setup for someone to help effectively.
