My Local live data base folder is now taking up 46gb om my SSD C drive. I installed on another hard drive (D). How can i change the local database to drive D? Can i delete the files in C without causing trouble?

You should be able to just point at the new directory in the preferences.

Ah, I see, I have seen a few of the LiveDB directories spread around in my filesystem. But I'm on Linux which is different, so I'm not sure where the plugin likes to keep these.

The worst that can happen if you delete it would be that the materials would have to be re-downloaded when you need to use them. I have wondered several times before if we would need to clean these directories out every now and then, so it doesn't fill up our disks?
