If you are like me, your C hard drive space is precious. The 4.6+ GB state folder that gets automatically placed in C:Users[UserName]AppDataRoamingDaedalus Mainnet folder is annoying:

r/cardano - How to Move the Daedalus State Folder to a different Drive (Windows)

Here’s how to move it to a different drive in your computer (assuming you already have Daedalus Mainnet installed):

  1. Make sure Daedalus is not running. Go to the folder C:Users[UserName]AppDataRoaming where [UserName] is your login name.

  2. Copy the folder Daedalus Mainnet

  3. Paste to the destination drive you want it to reside. For example: D:Daedalus Mainnet

  4. Rename the original folder in C:Users[UserName]AppDataRoaming to something else e.g.: Daedalus Mainnet.bak

  5. Open a command prompt and change directory into C:Users[UserName]AppDataRoaming

  6. Run the following command while in the directory in bullet point #5 (for my specific example):
    mklink /D “Daedalus Mainnet” “D:Daedalus Mainnet”

  7. Startup Daedalus. Check that everything is working as normal.

  8. You can now delete the Daedalus Mainnet.bak directory to free up the 4.6+ GB of space from the C drive
