I'm a newbie with Cardano. Anyone can tell me how to move the Daedalus blockchain data folder from AppData to another drive?
I want to keep my C-drive's space by moving DB to another drive.

Sign up to join this communityAfter installing the wallet, look for the file called daedalus.bat
inside Daedalus installation directory. Open it and change the following line:
-n --db-path ^
for anything like this:
-n "%APPDATA%\Daedalus\DB Wallet" ^
If you've already synced, move the ledger database to the new location.
You can find the second solution here.
I'd use directory junction ( aka. Hard Link). Stop Daedalus, open and elevated command prompt and type:
mklink /J C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Roaming\Daedalus D:\Daedalus
YOURUSER = Your Windows User running Daedalus
D:\Daedalus = Your path where you will store the Daedalus folder
In this way you don't have to modify any config file in Daedalus.
