location of block chain on disc

[stancoin]

I installed bitcoin-qt on D: partition rather than C: because space on C: is tight.    I hoped the entire structure would also end up on D: as well as the .exe etc. However no such luck. The blockchain and some other files (about 8Gb's worth) all still ended up on C:. Did I miss some option during installed? Or, is there a way to relocate the blockchain for my existing install (so I don't have to download the entire blockchain again?
Thanks

You didn't miss anything. But yes you can relocate it adding the -datadir command somewhere. Oh and first manually move the blockchain in the new location you chose.

This is what I did to move my blockchain files. You are basically moving the blockchain and leaving a link to it on your c: drive.
