Where the data folder lives
Profiles, rules, logs and UI preferences all live in one data folder. Knowing where it is makes migrations and clean uninstalls much faster.
What is inside
Subscription files, any config you edited by hand, Merge and Script extensions, interface preferences and logs are all stored in subfolders under that one directory.
Logs pile up over time, so clear them once you have finished debugging. Deleting logs is harmless; deleting the profiles folder is what actually loses data.
How to open it
Settings offers an "open app directory" style entry that jumps straight to the right folder — far more reliable than clicking through the file manager.
On Windows the folder normally sits under the user AppData tree, named after the application identifier. Because AppData is hidden by default, pasting the path into the address bar is faster than navigating to it.
Do not guess the path. Settings has buttons that open the app folder, the core folder and the log folder directly, and those are always right.
Moving to a new machine
Install the same version on the new machine and launch it at least once so the folder gets created, then quit the app completely before copying your old profiles and config over it.
Quitting first is not optional. A running client writes its in-memory settings back to disk on exit and will overwrite whatever you just copied in.
Portable use and a clean removal
A portable copy keeps its data next to the executable, so moving the whole folder moves your setup — but it has to be the whole folder, not just the main program file.
If you plan to reinstall, leave the data folder alone. If you are done with the app for good, delete the folder by hand: the uninstaller usually does not take it with it.
