How to change data directory?

Hello. I faced such a difficulty: my c:\ drive is SSD, so I want monero's data base to be stored in another place rather than default one. Is there some way to move or change it?

You can move the existing \bitmonero folder to another drive. When you start the daemon, add this

--data-dir D:\example\bitmonero

It should work just fine. You have to add that flag every time you start the daemon though. If you're on Windows you could create a .bat file with "monerod --data-dir D:\example\bitmonero" in it for example.
