Question about moving cache and metadata folder from C Drive to a diffrent location.

[Kleggnutt 1]

I have noticed that the folder is getting rather large (almost 30gb) and I have a spare SSD that I can use just for such things.I do need to upgrade my Windows drive at some point as some new projects are starting to take up more space but that is a later problem.

I see the option move the cache folder), this is self explanatory.

However, maybe I am being dumb, what about the metadata folder ("C:\Users\Home\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\metadata") that contains the data/images for people, genres, studios  etc. Where is the option to change the location for the Metadata folder. Am I missing something?

I have Emby set to store film and tv info and images to the folders with media and Googling has resulted in advice for not what I need.All results point to changing a setting in the library section but that is not what i need nor is the option there.

Any help or advice appreciated.

Server Settings>Library tab in the sidebar>switch to "Advanced" tab on top of the screen>"Metadata path" field.

Right in front of me.

My brain is fried from Docker troubleshooting.   

Thank you.
