Where Are Minit Save Files Located?
Where Minit keeps its sixty second adventure saves on PC, and how local files relate to Steam Cloud.
Last updated
Minit keeps its run in a versioned save file inside a saves folder under LocalAppData. The GameMaker build uses a minit prefix tree that is easy to spot. Steam Cloud mirrors the same file under userdata for AppID 609490.
Wiping progress means clearing both copies or Cloud restores the deleted run. The filename carries a version token, so old guides naming one exact file age as updates land. Copy the whole saves folder rather than single files for backup. The version token in the filename marks the current format across updates.
Where Minit stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\minit\minitSaves
Holds the versioned save file for the run. Steam Cloud mirrors it under userdata 609490 remote. Clear both copies for a true reset.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Minit saves on PC?
Copy the minitSaves folder from LocalAppData to the same path on the new machine. It holds the versioned save file that carries the whole run. Launch once with Cloud paused so the local copy becomes canonical on first sync.
How do I wipe Minit Cloud saves and start over?
Go offline in Steam, delete both the local saves and the userdata remote copy for AppID 609490, then launch to generate a fresh file. Play briefly and exit so the new file uploads and overwrites the old Cloud copy. Reconnect after that.
