Where Does Waydroid Store Images and Data?
Waydroid images, configs and app data on Linux.
Last updated
Waydroid keeps system and vendor images plus configs in /var/lib/waydroid, with per-user app data in home Android containers. Resetting images never touches user apps until userdata wipes run.
Snapshot configs before OTA-style upgrades and binder experiments. Image downloads are gigabytes while configs are kilobytes.
Where Waydroid stores this, by platform
/var/lib/waydroid
System images, rootfs overlays and waydroid.cfg for the container. User app data lives in ~/.local/share/waydroid/data. Manage with waydroid init and upgrade commands, not raw deletes.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reset Waydroid cleanly?
Use waydroid init -f for images plus userdata wipes for apps. Raw deletes of the folder above orphan binder mounts.
Where are Waydroid app files?
In the per-user data tree beside /var/lib above. Android storage inside Waydroid maps back to those host paths.
