Lazy.nvim - change plugin install location for Windows 10

Question

Is there a way to change the plugin install location from:

C:\Users\user1\AppData\Local\nvim-data\lazy

to let say:

C:\nvim-data?

After installing LazyVim, cloning into that folder fails so none of the plugins were installed.

Do you still have something open in your question? How can we help you further? Otherwise maybe could you accept one of the answers using the v button next to the arrow voting buttons. It allow the question to rest :-) — Vivian De Smedt, Commented Jan 22 at 18:58

You can influence the path of the nvim-data folder by setting the: XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable.

If set, the path of the nvim-data folder is %XDG_DATA_HOME%\nvim-data

Setting XDG_DATA_HOME to C:\ should do the trick.
