Where Does Bulk Crap Uninstaller Store Settings?
BCU saves all settings to a single BCUninstaller.settings file inside its app directory on every PC.
Last updated
Bulk Crap Uninstaller keeps settings in one file beside the app. Portable builds carry it in the folder, which makes moves trivial. Installed builds add the usual Windows traces, but the settings file stays the source of truth.
The file applies on exit, so close BCU before copying. Resetting means deleting it. Queued removals and custom lists live there, while leftover scan results stay disposable.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move BCU settings?
Copy the settings file with the app folder to the new location. Portable builds keep everything together. Installed builds mix in registry and AppData, so prefer portable for moves.
How do I reset BCU to defaults?
Use Help Reset settings in the app or delete the settings file while BCU is closed. It recreates defaults on next launch. Back up first when custom lists matter.
