MKLINK (symbolic link) not working

I am trying to create a symbolic link on my Windows 10 64bit to redirect the iTunes backup file to my external hard disk (D:\)


This is the link I added in my command window:


mklink /J "%APPDATA%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\iTunes Backup"

It didn't work fully as the backup file was still created in the parent directory (C:\) even though the same file was also created in D:\


Now I can't complete my phone backup because I do not have enough storage.


Why were two files created ?
