Is there any way to move the blockchain and all logs/folders to a USB stick and keep it there so you don't have files indicating you own Monero stored on your computer?

I've tried moving the blockchain manually but after doing that the daemon cannot connect and it still creates logs in .bitmonero.

Debian based.

    With respect to moving the blockchain file, did you look at this guide already? https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/7225/how-do-i-move-the-blockchain-data-mdb-to-a-different-directory-during-or-afte – dEBRUYNE Feb 23 '22 at 07:19
  • And for the logs, --log-file /path/to/log.log – jtgrassie Feb 23 '22 at 20:56
  • anytime I try running the daemon with the blockchain on the usb it gives me the following error Monero 'Oxygen Orion' (v0.17.3.0-release) Error: Couldn't connect to daemon: 127.0.0.1:18081 – user14443 Feb 28 '22 at 21:42
  • "Couldn't connect to daemon" is a wallet error, not a daemon error. – jtgrassie Mar 01 '22 at 02:47

Yes. Just use the options --data-dir and --log-file appropriately when starting the daemon.
