Where Does Overwolf Store Apps and Data?
Overwolf keeps apps, logs and overlay data in LocalAppData with the program in Program Files. Data paths and clean removal.
Last updated
Overwolf splits itself the classic Windows way: program binaries in C:\Program Files (x86)\Overwolf, and all living state in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Overwolf. The data side holds installed overlay apps under Extensions, per-game overlay logs under Log, and the supported-games list developers consult. Capture folders default under your user profile.
Uninstalling removes only the program side, which is why broken installs survive reinstalls until the data folder is deleted by hand. Overwolf documents both halves in its support and developer docs, an unusual completeness for a gaming overlay. The platform is Windows-only; CurseForge's standalone and macOS builds keep separate homes.
Where Overwolf stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Overwolf
Installed overlay apps under Extensions, per-game overlay logs under Log, supported-games list at the root. Program binaries live separately in C:\Program Files (x86)\Overwolf. Full removal means uninstalling plus deleting this data folder. Never run the exes as admin; it breaks overlay injection.
Frequently asked questions
how do i fully remove overwolf
Delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\Overwolf after uninstalling. Overwolf's own support lists this as the final reinstall step because the uninstaller leaves settings, apps and recordings behind. App data like settings or recordings made with Overwolf apps is deleted with it, so export anything precious first.
where are overwolf overlay logs
Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\Overwolf\Log and find the HTML log named after your game with a timestamp. Overwolf's developer docs point here for overlay debugging: it records injected DLLs, render API, window mode and hotkeys. Attach the matching log when reporting broken overlays.
how do i move overwolf recordings folder
Change it in the app's capture settings rather than moving folders. Overwolf exposes video and screenshot folder settings through its API and settings UI, defaulting under the user profile. Moving the folders by hand breaks the app's references; set the path where Overwolf asks for it.
