He didn't say he was using Windows (although the failure to say what he is using does tend to imply Windows 7 or Windows Vista). On most Unix-like systems, a symbolic link can be used.
On Windows, I believe it actually goes in the application data directory. I've never investigated moving this, but I would hope it is possible. In any case, the issue is a Windows one, as it affects any program that obeys the Windows filesystem layout conventions and stores non-trivial amounts of application data.
In any case, there is a -c command line option on Pidgin, that moves the configuration directories. As the logs are in a sub-directory, changing this will presumably move the logs.
Wiping out the filesystem is a red herring, as you could do that to any filesystem. The solution to that, other than applying reasonable care, and not using administrator privileges day to day, is to do backups.
