Where Does Resonite Store Local Data and Cache?
Resonite keeps its local database in LocalLow and a separate asset cache in Local Temp on Windows. Official wiki paths for Windows and Linux.
Last updated
Resonite uses two folders with two jobs. The data path holds the local database, the key that unlocks it, and a small asset cache. The cache path holds bulk downloaded assets and can grow large. Deleting the wrong one loses local creations that never synced.
Both locations are customizable with -DataPath and -CachePath launch options, so a heavily modded setup may not match the defaults. The log file always prints the real paths (see FAQ). Headless server hosts use the same folders, which makes this page useful for server admins as well as players.
Where Resonite stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Yellow Dog Man Studios\Resonite
Local database plus its key. The cache sibling lives in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\Yellow Dog Man Studios\Resonite and is safe to wipe. Logs sit in a Logs folder inside the Steam install dir.
$XDG_DATA_HOME/Yellow Dog Man Studios/Data
Falls back to ~/.local/share and ~/.cache when the XDG variables are unset. Flatpak Steam users find them under ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam instead.
Frequently asked questions
How do I clear the Resonite cache safely?
Wipe the cache folder, never the data folder alone. The data path holds your local database and its unlock key, while the cache is disposable downloaded assets. Delete cache with Resonite closed and it rebuilds on launch.
How do I confirm my exact paths?
Open the latest log in the install Logs folder. Its first lines print AppPath, DataPath, CachePath and LocalePath for that machine, which settles any doubt.
