On PC, whatsApp doesn’t let you directly change the storage location, but you can move the WhatsApp folder to another drive and create a shortcut or symbolic link, easy workaround, saves your C drive from crying.

WhatsApp storage location cannot be changed on PC directly. Files are saved in the default/ Downloads or Documents. The files can be moved manually or the download location may be changed by changing the settings in the browser.

WhatsApp PC downloads go to your system’s default Downloads folder. To change, either move files manually or change Windows’ default Downloads location; the app itself doesn’t let you set a new folder.

You cannot change the WhatsApp storage location manually on a PC. WhatsApp Desktop will always save files to your system's default Downloads folder without any option for manual change. The only alternative is to either change the location of your Windows download folder or to move the files after they have been downloaded.

You can’t directly change the WhatsApp storage location on a PC. WhatsApp Desktop saves files to the default Downloads folder automatically.
Workaround:
Change your PC’s default Downloads folder location or manually move downloaded files after saving.

on PC, WhatsApp doesn’t let you change the storage location directly, but you can move the WhatsApp Media folder to another drive and create a symbolic link so it keeps saving there without filling up your C drive.

I know the feeling! WhatsApp media can really eat up your C drive. You can try changing the storage location or moving the media folder to another drive to free up space.
