Last updated: 10/2/2026This topic explains how to change the location of a Replicate instance's data directory. Changing the data directory of a Replicate instance might need to be performed, for example, if the drive on which the current directory resides has insufficient space or if you are moving from a temporary POC setup to production.
To do this:
- Uninstall the instance.
- Move the data directory to a new location.
- Install an Replicate instance, specifying the new location of the data directory.
