How do I change the storage directory?

I don’t want it to consume my remaining disk space on my SSD, how can I change the storage directory to something other than %APPDATA%?

This is actually preventing me from trying Cardano.

Hello everyone. Hope everybody is well 👍

In order to create symlink on Daedalus chain folder, for all three platforms (Windows, Mac and Linux), please follow these steps: Note: Replace <username> with your own username

1. Stop Daedalus

2. Find the chain folder according to your chosen platform. Normally located at: For Windows: "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Daedalus Mainnet\chain"

   For Mac: “/Users/<username>/Library/Application\ Support/Daedalus\ Mainnet/“

   For Linux: “/home/<username>/.local/share/Daedalus/mainnet”

3. Then move the “chain” folder and its entire content to your desired location. I moved mine into “Downloads” folder.

4. After that do the following: For Windows: a) Run the command prompt as an administrator b) At the prompt, type -> mklink /d "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Daedalus Mainnet\chain" "C:\Users\<username>\Downloads\chain"

   For Mac: a) Open a terminal window b) At the prompt, type -> ln -s /Users/<username>/Downloads/chain /Users/<username>/Library/Application\ Support/Daedalus\ Mainnet/

   For Linux: a) Open a terminal window b) At the prompt, type -> ln -s /home/<username>/Downloads/chain /home/<username>/.local/share/Daedalus/mainnet

5. Restart Daedalus

If you have any question, please let me know. Thank you. 🙏
