Anywhere other than c drive

Hi sorry if this may have been asked before but........can I keep Launchbox away from my c drive entirely? When I add roms they are kept on my external drive but the emulators and other things like box art etc are in my user folder on the c drive and it is rapidly filling up, Can someone help? TIA

Launchbox is portable and can go anywhere, just cut/paste it where you like.

right so I've moved the Launchbox folder that was in the user folder on my c drive and as a consequence no metadata, movies etc are showing up so how do I point it at it's new location because I cant find how todo this

Did you refresh the data/images after moving?  Go to LB Menu Tools, Refresh Images.  Or if just want to test on one platform first, go to a platform and select all games and hit F5.   Everything in LB is typically relative to your LB install but if you hard mapped some things (for example ROMs) you may have to update those entries.  Go to Edit Platform and Folders tab to double check. If looks like below where no Drive letter than it is relative to the LB install drive.
