Change Where Data Is Stored

Is there a way to change where default data is stored?  I don't mean where you save an actual file, but I see my Documents has 3D Coat data in it and I prefer to keep as much of my C drive free as possible.  For instance, I have a 3DCoat-2021 folder in the Documents folder I didn't put there that is taking up the most space in that directory and it's in the gigabytes.

Oh, sorry.  I wasn't sure how to search for this one.  While I found the option to move the data, I didn't realize it would reset my preferences and not actually delete the old folder.  That's useful for someone to know before they do this.

I'm still having an issue anyway.  I freed up 15Gb on my main drive, opened 3D Coat to my most recent file.  I added a 2000(X) x 2000(Y) box and placed it, only to have my free space drop suddenly to 253Mb.  3D Coat crashed and wanted to close.  When I closed 3D Coat, it brought me up to 5Gb and then after emptying my temp folder, it gave me 10Gb.  I should have 15Gb.  What is 2021.70 doing that's causing this?
