Monero Wallet's blockchain data refuses to change location

I followed this guide down to a T, as I'm trying to move the blockchain to D:\Monero GUI Wallet\bitmonero. It seemingly worked fine and didn't show any errors, and now I've got the blockchain data in my D-drive.

Once restarted though, the wallet recreates the C:\ProgramData\bitmonero directory and begins downloading the entire blockchain there. The GUI's blockchain location still shows D:\Monero GUI Wallet\bitmonero, even as I watch the data.mdb file download to the C-drive.

This is on Windows 10 and wallet version 0.18.1.2-unknown (Qt 5.15.6).

What did I do wrong and how can I force it to use my D-drive?

gggggghhh

Are you starting monerod.exe manually? – dEBRUYNE Oct 27 '22 at 06:53
I've tried letting it start alone. Also tried cancelling it immediately and then starting monerod.exe (in D-drive) manually. Neither work. – gggggghhh Nov 08 '22 at 14:55
To be clear, did you start monerod.exe manually with the --data-dir flag? This guide contains instructions for that. – dEBRUYNE Nov 11 '22 at 06:29
