The default path to store temporary files from PowerPoint conversion is:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\PowerPointConversion\
Is there a way to change this path (entire or part would be useful) ?

Finally I have solved the problem just keeping the directory where it is, but creating a link to another device that I am actually using to store this data.
I have followed this tutorial to create to create this link. This task is not trivial and easy when it does changes on C:\ProgramData directory. But it worked like a charm.
A second step to make a healthy environment was to setup a auto-cleaning task. I did it using this tutorial:

Thanks Leandro for posting your workaround here - very helpful. Do you know whether PP automation service does any cleanup on 'PowerPointConversion' folder? Do they live there forever - for us to do the cleanup?? Commented Apr 24, 2015 at 15:09

1Hi! Yes, live forever. I did not found any built-in way to run this auto-cleanup task, so I have defined a custom script to do that. Here you can find a complete reference: blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2007/10/31/… Commented Apr 26, 2015 at 19:40
