How to change default location of project folder from C:\Users\User Name \Documents to another folder like D:\Studio 2022?
I migrated it manually to that folder which I created on D disk and I removed the old folder from Documents but Trados insisted on adding files to the old place C:\Users\User Name \Documents after creating its folder again. So I uninstalled it and installed it but I couldn't see any setting related to changing the Trados main folder location. All I can see is F...

All I can see is File/Setup/Locations but this is only downloading path for cloud projects. ▲ Collapse

You can setup a location by editing the Default project template.
Go to File - Setup - Project Templates - select Default - Edit... - Project location - Browse to where you want to store your projects by default.

Alternatively, you can simply create a new template: go to 'Home' tab, click 'Create Project Template'. You can create as many templates as you need, for example, you can create templates by client. That way you would be able to assign a different folder for a different client.
Also, try this video. Hope it helps.

What I want is to transport the Trados 2022 folder completely from C to D. I don't want to be there any related folder or file in C/documents related to Trados. What I did was to transfer the Projects, Termbases and Translated Memories folders from C to D after creating there a folder named Trados 2022. I showed Trados the new locations of the projects, Termbases and TMs. So far so good, no problems. But even if I did so, Trados stubbornly creates a folder called Studio 2022 in C/Document. In...

What I did was to transfer the Projects, Termbases and Translated Memories folders from C to D after creating there a folder named Trados 2022. I showed Trados the new locations of the projects, Termbases and TMs. So far so good, no problems. But even if I did so, Trados stubbornly creates a folder called Studio 2022 in C/Document. Inside this folder there are two folders called Project Templates and Projects. When I delete them, Trados can't see the projects and I have to show them again inside D section one by one. As I mentioned before, I want all files and folders related to Trados to be located in D. Because I may upgrade the system at some point or I may encounter a problem in the future. In this case, for example, if I have 500 projects, I will have to show them all to Trados one by one again.
I did it the way you said, but it doesn't change the result in terms of moving Trados from C to D completely.

However, if there is no way to move all Trados files to D, I guess that would be sufficient as a solution. At least Projects, TMs and TBs are safe.

Your original question was: How to change default location of project folder from C:\Users\User Name \Documents to another folder like D:\Studio 2022?
I answered that above. Now you ask a different question.
Well, I have all my projects in volume D. I have all my TMs and TBs in volume D. I have all my resources, autocorrect/autotext/autosuggest dictionaries in vol D. Trados creates some folders in volume C but they always stay empty. This is inevitable as far as I know...
