How can I change the cache folder location?

My new PC has 2 SSD HDDs. I use the primary C: drive for OS & applications; and a less expensive D: drive as my temp\scratch disk; which I can easily replace.

How can I move the below data folder and all its contents to my D: drive for EPG123 to use? I really don't want to wear out my primary disk. Is there a simple way to do this?

C:\ProgramData\GaRyan2\

Thanks in advance!

Uninstall EPG123, and then install it on your D: drive. You will of course need to delete your current update task and create a new one for the new location. Installing EPG123 someplace other than the default program files location will cause all files and folders that would be in the programdata folder to be in the same location as the EPG123 install.
