Change User-Data folder location
When running Gynzy Desktop files are being created per user. The location of the folder containing these files can be customized. This can be done by changing the shortcut.

When the shortcut contains the following path:

"C:\Program Files\Gynzy Desktop\Gynzy Desktop.exe"

Then you can add the following:

--user-data-path=C:\Users\[user]\Desktop\my-data

The complete path will be:

"C:\Program Files\Gynzy Desktop\Gynzy Desktop.exe" --user-data-path=C:\Users\[user]\Desktop\my-data

You can check if the new path is used by starting Gynzy Desktop and inspect the folder you've specified. This folder should contain a few files and folders. You can also check this by reading the section below
