.android folder created in wrong place

Whenever I launch an android IntelliJ project, it automatically creates the .android folder at C:\Users\<REDACTED>\.android

Is there any way I can change this because I wish to create my android virtual devices on a different drive or preferably just move the whole .android folder to a different drive however I cannot find a way to do this.

The android sdk location for the project is already on the correct drive.

I tried this solution but it did not fix the problem.

Does anybody know how?
