Where Does Bandicam Save Recordings?
Bandicam files every recording in a Documents folder by default, with OneDrive sync as the classic troublemaker.
Last updated
Bandicam's official guides put recordings in Documents by default with changeable output in General settings. The folder button in the main window opens it directly.
Two behaviors surprise newcomers: OneDrive happily syncs the output folder into quota errors, and nothing ever auto deletes. Subfolder schemes by game, type, or date keep big libraries sane. Write caching trades smoothness against crash safety per recording.
Where Bandicam stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Bandicam
Default capture folder for video, images, and audio. Relocate in General settings when space runs short or OneDrive interferes.
Frequently asked questions
Recordings show sync errors. Why?
Move the output folder out from under OneDrive to a local drive root. Synced recording folders hit quota caps and show sync errors mid capture. Documents local or a dedicated drive both work.
Does Bandicam clean up old files?
No auto delete exists by design; files accumulate until removed by hand. Use subfolder options by target, type, or date to keep libraries navigable. Recordings never upload anywhere automatically.
