Where Does Junk-Store Keep Data on Steam Deck?

Junk-Store lives in the Decky plugin folder at ~/homebrew, with store logins cached beside it.

Last updated

Junk-Store is a Decky Loader plugin, so it follows Decky paths on the Deck. Plugin code and settings sit under ~/homebrew/plugins/junk-store. Game installs go wherever you pointed each store, often SD card folders outside the plugin.

Back up plugin settings before Decky updates, since major loader jumps occasionally reset third party state. Store credentials reauthenticate through each vendor flow. Installed games survive plugin wipes as long as their folders stay.

Plugin code plus settings and cached logins on Steam Deck. Exact internal files shift per release, so copy the folder whole with Deck in desktop mode.

Frequently asked questions

Where are my Junk-Store games installed?

In the per store folders you chose during setup, usually on the SD card. The plugin folder only holds settings. Point installs at roomy storage from the start.

Junk-Store broke after a Decky update, now what?

Reinstall the plugin from the Decky store and recheck settings. Games stay installed. Log back into Epic and GOG through the plugin flows.
