Installed new version of WebOMD to different drive letter and now can't access database

My dumb mistake, I had installed a second SSD drive in my computer and the drive had lots of free space. I just upgraded WebODM from inside the program and I wasn’t paying enough attention when it chose the drive to place the installation and by default it chose the drive with the most free space. Now I have two instances (and different versions) of WebODM installed (C and D drives) and now when I lanch WedODM my dashboard is empty (as all my worked was done on the C drive and prior installtion).
What do I need to do to resolve my self-created problem?
Can I just reinstall my older original download of WebODM to the C: drive (where all my work was done)?
thanks for your help.

Can I just copy the “project” folder to the new drive or maybe the “media” folder?

Easiest fix would be to uninstall the one on D drive, then install again but point it to the C drive. It will update the existing install there.

Thanks, that solved the problem.

Just curious, how can I port WebODM from one drive to another? I tried copying the “project” folder, the “media” folder, the “db” folder, and finally the “data” folder to the new installation but WebODM never showed any projects in the Dashboard after each of those attempts.

You’re best moving the whole directory and installing over it.

Thanks for the info Saijin_Naib, that worked out great. Now I’ve moved my WebOMD to my larger SSD so I will have some working room for many projects.
