Solution
To change the default path which Veeam Report Viewer uses to store VMR files per user follow these instructions:

Full Path Example: "C:\Users\administrator\AppData\Local\Veeam_Software\VeeamReportViewer.exe_Url_ogytkjb422ovsw3wssvksu2wcidutppn\4.0.3.264"

You can completely delete those folders with no worries as they will be recreated at next run of Veeam Report Viewer.

2. Change the settings in one of the field to:

<value>C:\Users\*UserName*\Documents\My Veeam Reports\</value>
</setting>
