"Disk space low, free up space now"
As the blockchain database grows more and more users run into this issue, when its their main OS drive that can impact the OS and all other installed apps once the drive runs out of space.
Inexperienced users struggle to find the hidden (Windows) user directory where the database is located to move it, they also struggle to edit the config yaml and aren't sure what to put for the path, adding a GUI option to define a new folder and/or drive for the blockchain database would help them and lower support requests.
Side quest, when the user chooses a new folder/drive to use, move the existing database to that location with warnings that it should be on an SSD and not a HDD, as some users are unaware that can cause issues when blocks are full and seeks are high.
