Where Does BetterDiscord Store Plugins and Settings?
BetterDiscord lives in %APPDATA%\BetterDiscord with plugins, themes and config split into subfolders.
Last updated
BetterDiscord injects into the Discord client but keeps its own house in a separate app data folder. Plugins, themes and settings each get a subfolder, which makes diagnosing a broken install straightforward.
Most breakage comes from one bad plugin or theme after a Discord update. Emptying those two subfolders while keeping the config file revives the client without losing your setup.
Where BetterDiscord stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\BetterDiscord
Plugins in plugins/, themes in themes/, settings in config.json. Discord itself lives separately under %APPDATA%\discord. Clear plugins and themes first when the client breaks on launch.

Close Discord and empty the BetterDiscord plugins and themes folders, leaving config.json. Relaunch clean, then re-add addons one by one to find the culprit.

Not fully. The BetterDiscord folder in %APPDATA% survives Discord's uninstaller. Remove it by hand for a truly clean reinstall.

In the themes subfolder of %APPDATA%\BetterDiscord. Drop .theme.css files there with Discord closed and enable them from BetterDiscord settings.
