C1 Express - relocating catalog files

NNN636552525449700073
Hello everyone, I tried to solve my problem with technical support but it seems imposibble so I will try it here.
I have Capture One Express for Sony, I have my own file structure for raw files so I am importing them with
Destination selected as "Current Location". The SW has it's own file directory for database files - previews, cache, adjustments - which is stored in a folder that is synchronized on my cloud (Let's say E:\cloud\C1E). As I am using only this pc, it is eating my space on cloud which I don't want.
Is there a way I can change the directory for the catalog files? So that the Capture One would be saving all the adjustment, cache etc. files to a place I choose? (Let's say to D:\C1E).
When moving raw files I know there is Locate but I can't find such thing with Catalog files.

Thank you for any help.
Radek

    I feel like I am missing something important... Shouldn't this be as easy as moving the directory containing the catalogue file to a new location (i.e. move not just the catalogue file itself but the directory it is in and all sub directories). Then double click on the catalogue file to open it.

    Oh, thank you Ian! It was probably me missing something important as I didn't realize I could double click it to open with C1. However the Express version can't open catalog with double click as it supports only one at a time but a dialog window shows saying that holding Alt key while opening the app will let me choose my default Catalog folder. That's exactly what I wanted, thank you for pointing me there. Thanks a lot!
