user115188: I'm using Bitcoin Core on Windows 10.  Despite setting it up in a folder on my larger drive, it's eating all the space on my SSD. How do I direct the blockchain to the drive I want?

user63872: You'll want to set the option -datadir=<path-to-your-drive> either when starting bitcoind, or in your bitcoin.conf file. If you add it to bitcoin.conf, you'll need to restart your node for the change to take effect.
