Thanks so much for pointing this out. Sorry, I guess I missed it somehow. I'll give this a try and report back.

There's an option for this already: Settings -> Network & Connection -> Data Directory.
- Open Bob and set the new directory path in settings. This will not automatically move the data.
- Close Bob
- Move the
hsd_data
to the new location - Open Bob, it should use data from the new location.
Ex:
- Default data dir is
~/.config/Bob/hsd_data
- If you change the path in settings to
/mnt/vol/hsd_data
, - Make sure that the path
/mnt/vol/hsd_data
has the samewallet
,chain
,blocks
, etc.
P.S. This will move blockchain data to another location, but Bob settings (like preferences and watching list) will still stay where it is currently. But that's not an issue since it takes up negligible space.

Okay, so I tried changing the location setting and at first I wasn't able to (while the blockchain was still downloading, perhaps there should be a way to do this pre-download). I thought it was because the blockchain was still synchronizing, so I deleted all my computer backups to free up HDD space and finally made enough room to download the entire blockchain.
Once the chain download was done I changed the setting you told me about to reference the new hsd_data folder that I created on the external drive. exited Bob, copied the entire hsd_data folder to my external drive,Then I renamed the old hsd_data folder that was created automatically when I first ran Bob Wallet, and re-lauched the app.
Instead of referencing the new location on the external drive, Bob simply created a new hsd_data in the old default location and started re-synchronizing the blockchain from scratch.
I've been working on this issue for many hours, on multiple days and attempts and I'd really like to get this solved. How can I get Bob to recognize the new external drive location of the data???
Is there any other debugging information I can help provide? Thanks for your help in troubleshooting this issue 🙏
Edit/Update. Sorry, user error (I renamed the hsd_data folder on the external drive to 'hsd_data (old)', instead of the one I meant to do on the internal HDD). Looks like everything is working now. Thanks for the help.

Glad it's working!
