We need move .chia dir to another disk,not default in disk C.It's growing too fast.

Rigth now is like this:
blockchain_v1_mainnet.sqlite 7.66GiB
.chia is totle 10.8GiB
And my space disk only 6GiB in disk C.
Most of people do not have enough space in disk C. How do we move C:\Users\Username.chia to another disk?
In the future it's may more than 1TiB,did you image it? Now we need move this dir to another disk.It's growing too fast.

This has been discussed in Issues. You need to set an environment variable called CHIA_ROOT (defaults to "~/.chia/mainnet"). Setting environment variables varies by OS. Assuming Windows (since "disk C" isn't a particularly cross-platform term), it would be Start->"Edit the system environment variables" -> "Environment Variables..." -> "System variables" -> "New..." -> "Variable name: CHIA_ROOT" "Variable value: D:\chia\mainnet" -> OK -> OK.

After that, you will need to close the client, manually move the "mainnet" folder, and run the client again.

Got it. Thank you. It's better to add this to README

Can't symbolic links help?
Move .chia to a bigger disk partition <new-chia-path>.
Then cd to original directory and link it.
LInux: ln -s <new-chia-path> .chia
Windows10: mklink /D <new-chia-path> .chia
