Power Automate Desktop stores flows and run data in AppData folders on Windows. Cloud flows sync through your Microsoft account separately. Desktop runs reference the local machine.
Export flows explicitly for moves. Local data plus cloud flows travel by different routes. Keep machine names stable or expect to reconnect triggers after restoring.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Power Automate flows?
Export flows from the console to files and copy them over. Local runs reference machines by name. Reconnect gateways after moving.
Flows missing after moving. Why?
Check the flow list inside the console first. Missing ones usually mean a different environment. Cloud flows live separately from desktop runs.
