Hello, I am have a small SSD and the Galaxy folder in the C Drive is getting really large (like 3.3 GB!). Is there a way to move this or in the setting allow you to move to another drive?

On a separate note, I also noted some games inside are really large. Like Nexus Jupiter the game number is 1207659080

C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\support\1207659080

The folder is 1.2GB where as it is already full install on my D Drive. I uninstalled and reinstalled it but the folder size is still same large size. Why do I need such a large size of files when I have already full install? Any suggestions?

Thanks
I didn't try it myself yet but there is a registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GOG.com\GalaxyClient\settings
you may play around if you're brave enough or you know what you are doing : )
Thanks Mike. It does look like the right settings. I am not sure if I am brave enough yet. Have anyone try this? Would there be a second or third confirmation out there to confirm that this works?

If you change it now in the registry, would it automatically move the current contents into the new directory or do you need to copy to the new directory after?

Thanks for you help!
I just did, in wine.
Galaxy started without any errors, games also works. In fact I am typing right now from galaxy..
I moved whole support folder to root c: and changed the path in registry.

edit:
Uninstalled and installed Balls of Steel without any problems. No folders were created in default GOG.com\Galaxy\ path.
I closed Galaxy, moved support folder, changed registry key and started the client. Simple : )

Is there an update to this? That key is missing from the registry. I installed on D, but this 1 GB+ GOG.com folder with Galaxy and supportInstaller subfolders still goes to ProgramData on C.
