Use the https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI/blob/master/extra_model_paths.yaml.example config file instead of symlinks.
Yes, I do use the extra path file but there are always new models and models folders being constantly added therefore it is more efficient to have a folder outside comfyui and symlink it. And having multiple comfyui installations depending on the plugins used, it is more efficient a symlink folder than extra paths file

It is not more efficient since it is the same thing. Just point to the parent folder where you put all your models and the subfolders will be loaded by the config accordingly.
A lot of plugins are creating folders inside models folder and downloading files in it. When I reinstall Comfy (quite often) I would need to go check what new files/folders have been added in the meantime. Your solution (pointing to a models folder in the extra paths file) would work only if the new files would be downloaded in the new path (the one from extra paths file). Which is not the case.
If you have git you can try: git stash pop
in the ComfyUI directory after running the update. The updater pushes current changes into the stack it doesn't discard them.
Your question
Situation: When I use the update_comfyui.bat or update_comfyui_and_python_dependencies.bat it always deletes the folder models if that folder is a junction folder (like a symlink for folders) As I like to keep all my models in folders outside the comfyui folder, can you do something about it? As in not to delete the folder during the update? Thank you
