During installation of MultiCharts, one can specify different from C drive installation folder location. However, the most space that is used by MultiCharts is filled with MultiCharts database, log files and studies. By default everything mentioned is stored on the C drive. There is a way to move the files and folders to a different hard drive.
==Database files==
Before starting, it is recommended to backup the database (see [[How to Backup User Data]]). The first step is to copy the files themselves:
