How to move (set up) \.chia folder to larger HDD?

[JOuAgent]

Hi,

soon I do not have enough space on my c:\ folder - max. size is 60 GB, now free only 3 GB.

How can I change (where to set up) c:\users~.chia to move for example to d:~.chia ???

Thank you for your help.

Solved - thank you to pyl: it is not the easiest thing to do on windows - but it is possible to set a "system env var" called CHIA_ROOT to point at another drive, for instance setting it to drive G:\chia - and copy the data from your users folder, ~/.chia to that folder, and then open up chia, it should start working out of that directory instead
