Kafka Folder Creation Issue in Windows

I am working on triggering the Kafka server. I have ran the zookeeper server and kafka server commands in the command line situated in the root directory of Kafka.

When I run the bin\windows\kafka-server-start.bat config\server.properties command in the command line to trigger the Kafka server, I see that the corresponding Kafka files are created in the root folder (i.e. C:\kafka_2.12-2.3.1) of Kafka. However, I want these files to be created in the data >> kafka (i.e. C:\kafka_2.12-2.3.1\data\kafka) folder which I created.

All the tutorials I see are achieving this by just running the command above but in my machine, the command is creating a new folder in the root directory.

You can adjust the log.dirs and dataDir of Kafka and Zookeeper to store their data in any directory to which they have access. The default for both is under /tmp, which doesn't exist on Windows, so you'll want to change it.
