If you've previously started Alfresco it will have populated the alf_data directory with some default content. If you then subsequently move the alf_data directory to another location, you must either:

Copy over the contents of the old alf_data directory to the new alf_data directory.

Wipe the alfresco database.

The database and alf_data directory are two sides of a coin, so changing one without the other (in any way) will be detected by Alfresco as a fatal error (the persisted repository is not valid).

Cheers,
Peter
