Can I move the location where my league files are stored?

Hi Folks,

Perhaps this belongs in the Technical Support forum but there doesn't seem to be much going on over there so I thought I would try over here. My apologies is this is out of line.

So my problem is that I am in a total of four leagues and I have a smallish (60gb) SSD for my main drive. My intent was to only put my operating system on that drive but every dang program I install puts at least something on the C: drive so my available space has shrunk over the years leading me to my problem.

I just joined a league with a LOT of teams (several divisions over several leagues) and the league folder takes up quite a lot of space in the default OOTP 14 folder in my User section on, of course, my C: drive. This, among other things, has left me with very little space on this drive. I've cleared out all the junk I can but it's still pretty tight. So my questions are:

Can I change where I have installed OOTP and get the game install off my C: drive?
Can I put my league files somewhere other than User/My Documents/OOTP/ etc?
If the answer to either of these questions is yes can I do it without uninstalling OOTP 14 and re-installing?
If so, how?

Thanks in advance for any help and/or advice you folks can provide.

I believe you can also change the user data location from within the game's preferences.

Thanks! The guide isn't very informative but it gave me enough of the basics to figure it out with some experimentation. My leagues are now safe and sound in a 2 terabyte drive and my C: drive is nice and roomy.
