I'm sure this has been asked and answered many times, but it's not working for me. I detail what I'm doing below. What am I doing wrong?

The problem:
After I move the database to drive, and restart the server, Mysql does not find the database.

Platform: Windows 10: MySql 5.7, Installed used: mysql-installer-community-5.7.19.0.msi

Steps taken:
1. Use Mysql Notifier to stop MySQL57
2. Using file manager, copy "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\Data" to E:\MySql\Data
3. Use MySQL Workbench -- Run as Administrator -- Open Local Instance MySQL57
4. Select Server -> Options File
5. Change datadir from C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.7/Data to "E:/MYSQL/Data" and apply changes.
6. Close MySQL Workbench and use Use Mysql Notifier to Start MySQL57

Results:
MySQL notifier starts but turns yellow.
MySQL Workbench shows no tables and the server will not start.
