Blue Iris changes clips path for some reason

I'm trying to change Blue Iris to use the new SSD I installed for DB, New and Alerts, I stopped Blue Iris service, robo-copied the BlueIris folder to the new drive, but whenever I update the paths in the Blue Iris app (Settings -> Clips and archiving), Blue Iris changes the path automatically by replacing the prefix with the path of other folders like the Stored network path. For example - I changed the New path from "C:\BlueIris\New" to "E:\BlueIris\New", but as soon as I tab out of that text box, the text automatically changes from "E:\BlueIris\New" to "\\192.168.22.10\blue-iris-share\BlueIris\New". "\\192.168.22.10\blue-iris-share..." is the prefix path for the other folders I have set up for old recordings to move to from the BI machine after X number of days (e.g., "\\192.168.22.10\blue-iris-share\Stored", "\\192.168.22.10\blue-iris-share\Alerts-3-months", "\\192.168.22.10\blue-iris-share\Alerts-12-months", etc.). The auto change also happens when I click the OK button to save settings. This also happens when I change the database path to the new path. Any ideas?

P.S. - I'm running 5.4.9.18... I know it's old, but there's no new features I want or need, so upgrading to the latest hasn't made sense
 
The only thing that should be on the SSD, is the operating system, Blue Iris, and the Blue Iris database.
Writing video files to an SSD will quickly kill the SSD.
Everything else should go to a surveillance rated drive such as a WD purple.
