Moving the %LOCALAPPDATA% Plex directory

Server Version#: 1.21.1.3876
Windows

I found this support article that says to use an advanced setting to move this directory. But it points to this support article which does not mention that setting. And I can’t find the setting on my advanced settings. Was it removed? Should I just set up a symlink instead?

It’s not been removed but no longer supported to be changed in the GUI (mostly for security reasons).

Here’s the actual support article, describing the hidden/advanced settings:

… and an extended guide on how to move the Plex data folder on Windows:
