Docker Desktop Change Disk Image Location On Windows

In Docker Desktop the file path can be changed to move the virtual disk image for the saved images/volumes etc…

You can attempt to change the path and it will try to move the image file to the new location, sometimes this hangs or takes a long time. If it hangs sometimes restart Docker Desktop will complete the task.

If this fails you can close Docker Desktop, rename the image file and Docker Desktop will create a new image when it starts.

You can then delete the new image and move the original image in to this location then rename it back to the original name.
