Thumbnails and json files in my One Drive -- how to remove?

mmitchell_houston

The title pretty much says it all: I have installed Daz Studio 4.23.0.1 on my D Drive, which is:

• D:\Documents on D\DAZ3D\My Daz 3D Library
• D:\Programs on D\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4

But, my One Drive (on my C drive) is all clogged up with a lot of thumbnails and json files (about 13,500 of them!).

• C:\Users\mmitc\OneDrive\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Daz Connect Library\data\cloud\meta

QUESTIONS:

1. Is there a way to move that directory?
2. Can I do it without reinstalling the entire app and all content (which I am willing to do, but it's not my first choice)?
   1. If I do have to reinstall it, is there something I need to do to prevent this from happening again?

A side note: I need OneDrive for work, so disabling it is NOT an option.

Here are some pics (see attachments) to help:

1. Preferences > Content Tab > Content Directory Manager.
2. View of the directory with all the junk in it.

Thanks to everyone in advance for the guidance and help!

Just chnage the location of the Daz Connect folder, and copy the /data/cloud/ folder to the new location (to get it off your C: drive and to avoid having to redownload the files if you work online - though if you never install through Connect there is no real reason to go onlione and update metadata anyway.

Thank you VERY much. I'll try that and let you know the results.
