Is there a way to specify where the EN database/datastore lives in Windows 10?

I have been an Evernote user for many years. 
The number of notes stored increases every way.
The size of the Evernote sore on the harddisk has become a problem for me. 

it is by default stored in a hive on the C drive.
On my laptop the C drive is quite tiny and the D drive has a much larger capacity. 

When the C drive fills up enough, I can't install any new applications, 
and space for updates, swap, etc 

Is there a way to tell EN to keep the data hive on the D drive?

You need to do some footwork, and can move the database to another location. Search for „symbolic link“ or „symlink“, either here in the forum or in a search engine. One example:

General remark: I hope „harddisk“ means an SSD, not one of these older drives with a spinning magnetic disk. EN (both legacy and v10) don’t perform well when running from a real spinning drive.

Same issue. Using 512 GB SSD. Becoming difficult to manage database in C drive. 

Everynote need to work on this.

I have downgraded to Evernote Legacy version from the following link and it worked. I could choose the folder location for database.

Oh, I was thinking that I am the only one who have this issue because I am using 128 gb ssd that was enough but now a days it is not working well. 😪

The solution is posted 3 posts above yours.

A 128GB SSD offers what other people use as a to-go USB stick. You always have to keep in mind that future software will likely grow - what looks like sufficient today won't do in 5 years.
