    Go to your BeamNG.drive directory (usually: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive) and edit startup.ini
    Code:
    ; use UTF-8 without BOM as encoding
    
    [filesystem]
    ; This determines where the User path is.
    ; This is by default or when empty below "My Documents\BeamNG.drive"
    UserPath = [COLOR=#ff0000][U][I][B]PATH_GOES_HERE[/B][/I][/U][/COLOR]
    
    ; example for using e:\beamng-user
    ;UserPath = e:\beamng-user
    
    ; example for using a relative path to this folder
    ;UserPath = \user

    Thank you for that tip. I'm using a SSD and space is important on it!. If that post could be set as an important topic would be great for those in the same situation.
