You can move the gnus-home-directory to another place. Also change
message-directory, because that is set by message.el, not gnus.
For example I moved them to Dropbox to keep my gnus synchronized
between machines:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq gnus-home-directory "~/Dropbox/gnus/") (setq
message-directory "~/Dropbox/gnus/Mail/")
#+END_SRC
This has to go in your .emacs, not your .gnus.el.
Best,
