Where Does Ocenaudio Store Settings?

Ocenaudio splits settings between AppData folders and the registry on Windows. The exact spots and the reset.

Last updated

Ocenaudio keeps Windows settings in two AppData folders: %LOCALAPPDATA%\ocenaudio and %APPDATA%\ocenaudio. File associations and a few preferences extend into the registry under HKCU\Software\OcenAudio and the Classes keys for .ocen documents.

Only back up or wipe these with the app closed. The Help menu exposes the live settings folder directly, which beats either AppData guess on installs that redirected folders. Linux and macOS builds follow their own platform stores; document only what you verified when covering those.
