Using Ubuntu latest

Say you have drives C & D

When you install and start downloading the blockchains and others default drive C is used. Now i am running out of space.

Want to move those already downloaded and the new ones that will be downloaded while updating to drive D.

Can anyone tell me the step to do

Thanks in advance

How could you have drives C & D in Ubuntu? Or are you running Ubuntu in virtual machine?

did you read the wiki page  Huh

here are the steps:
  • find the current data directory
  • move the directory to D (or where you have space)
  • run bitcoin wallet with datadir parameter to use that directory
