Where Does WowUp Store Addons and Settings?
WowUp keeps its config in the Electron userData folder, while addons themselves stay inside each game's Interface directory.
Last updated
WowUp splits its world in two. The app's own settings and provider logins live in the standard Electron folder, but downloaded addons install straight into the game's Interface/AddOns directory like manual installs.
That means uninstalling WowUp never removes your addons. It also means a broken addon list is fixed in the game folder, not in WowUp's config. Back up both if a full rebuild sounds miserable.
Where WowUp stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\WowUp
App settings and session data. Addons live in <Game>\_retail_\Interface\AddOns and WTF settings beside them. If the folder name differs by build, sort %APPDATA% by date after launching.
~/Library/Application Support/WowUp
Same split. Game folders sit under /Applications/World of Warcraft by default. Clearing WowUp's folder logs you out of providers without touching installed addons.
Frequently asked questions
does uninstalling wowup remove my addons
No. Addons live in the game's Interface folder and stay put. WowUp's own folder holds settings only, so reinstalling it picks up the existing addon set.
how do i back up my wow addon setup
Copy the Interface/AddOns and WTF folders from the game directory plus WowUp's config folder. Restoring all three reproduces addons, their settings, and the updater state.
