how to move immich to different folder?

I am using windows 11. Recently I added a new hard drive to my PC and am planning to move both db and upload folder to new disk. After some research here is what I have done:
  1. docker-compose down the original app.
    1. copied two folder to new drive:
    2. updated the .env file with
      UPLOAD_LOCATION=D:\Apps\immich-app\upload
      DB_DATA_LOCATION=D:\Apps\immich-app\db
    3. run docker-compose up -d
      However, it seems it started a new empty immich, but not overwriting the new upload and db folder under D. I am wondering which step I am missing? any help appreciated πŸ™‚
