FULLY exit from BOINC. (1st, Menu - Advanced > Shut down connected client, if it was installed as a service.)

Un-install, and then re-install, selecting a different drive.

And if need be, you can manually move your Data directory between the uninstall and reinstall to the new location, then when reinstalling BOINC, just point the path for the Data directory to that new location.
