Where Does Sparrow Wallet Store Wallets on PC?
Sparrow Bitcoin wallets and config on Windows, macOS and Linux for safe backups.
Last updated
Sparrow keeps wallets in a Sparrow folder under home, with one file per wallet. Config sits beside them.
Backing up means copying wallet files plus keeping the seed phrase offline. Encrypted wallets need passwords that no file copy replaces. Check the file location bar when paths differ.
Where Sparrow Wallet stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Sparrow\
Wallet files plus config and logs. Copy the folder encrypted for backup. Seeds on steel or paper beat disk copies for recovery.
~/Sparrow/
Same home folder layout. Use Go to Folder in Finder. Keep perms tight; wallet files plus config travel together.
~/Sparrow/
Same home folder. Some setups relocate to ~/.sparrow, so list home if missing. Config and wallets stay together by design.
Frequently asked questions
Which Sparrow files do I back up?
The wallet files in the Sparrow folder above, stored encrypted. Seeds matter more than files. Test opening a copy on a second machine before wiping the first.
Where is Sparrow config?
Beside wallets in the same Sparrow home folder (config plus logs). Server and fee settings live there. Copy wallets separately from config talk; both travel in one folder copy.
