Moving NiFi's various repositories is an easy process.
The nifi.properties file defines for NiFi where to find each one fo the repositories. Specifically look for these lines:
-

nifi.flowfile.repository.directory=/<my-original-path>/flowfile_repository

nifi.content.repository.directory.default=/<my-original-path>/content_repository

-

Each will be pointing to the current directory path where these repositories reside.

1. Stop your NiFi instance(s). Copy/Move the "content_repository" directory recursively to the new location.
2. Make sure the user that runs your NiFi process has proper ownership and permissions to the new directory location.
3. Update your nifi.properties file to point at new location path:

nifi.flowfile.repository.directory=/<my-new-path>/flowfile_repository

nifi.content.repository.directory.default=/<my-new-path>/content_repository

4. Start Your NiFi instance(s).
