Where Does Overwolf Store Apps and Settings?

Overwolf LocalAppData folder with extensions, logs and per-app data on Windows.

Last updated

Overwolf keeps its platform, extensions and per-app data in LocalAppData, with logs beside them for troubleshooting overlay issues. Game event data that apps record lands in app-specific subfolders.

Reinstalls wipe extension settings unless backed up. Copy the folder with Overwolf fully exited to preserve every app's state.

Where Overwolf stores this, by platform

Windows
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Overwolf

Holds extensions, per-app data, settings and the Log folder for troubleshooting. Exit Overwolf from the tray before copying, since background processes lock the files. Reinstalls regenerate the tree but drop extension state.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up Overwolf app settings?

Copy the full Overwolf folder from LocalAppData with the client fully exited. Paste it back after reinstalling to restore extension state.

Where are Overwolf logs?

In the Log subfolder of the directory above. Attach recent logs when reporting overlay or capture bugs.
