You can try TweakGDS: http://desktop.google.com/plugins/i/tweakgds.html
Use it at your own risk.

Hi. I’m running out of disk space on my C. But I have plenty on my other partition and secondary hard drive. How I can set Google Desktop to store the index on any directory that I want?

Thanks

Thank you worked great.

For the paranoid crowd, Eraser can truly erase them. And it’s free.

I have followed the above, and deleted all fh1, ch1 etc files, plus deleted a number of indexes as well. Are these indexes now permanently deleted? i.e. if someone goes on the PC, uninstalls google desktop and then downloads it again, will these indexes still be deleted?

Or is the only permanent way of deleting all history to reformat the hard disk?

Yes, What about for a Mac? I tried to get into the folder and it says “could not be opened because you do not have sufficient privileges.” I am logged in as Administrator and the files (index) does belong to me. What now?
