How to prevent Maven from dowloading content into default user Repository folder?

I recently installed Maven and I want to avoid it from downloading content into the Windows OS hard drive. I added the following line in the global settings.xml file:

<localRepository>D:\path\to\maven\local\repository</localRepository>

And as soon as I run mvn clear on a sample project it creates content into the %USERPROFILE%\.m2\repository folder.

How to configure Maven for storing content at D:\path\to\maven\local\repository only?

If you are using eclipse to build your project then eclipse comes with its own embedded Maven. Default location for the maven repository would be ~/.m2/repository. You can change the Default maven installation to your maven installation from Preferences --> Maven --> Installations and then add location of your maven installation.
