Resonite has two directories outside of the main installation directory which store files and folders that help it run. These directories are the cache path and data path.
Cache path
The cache path contains the Resonite cache, or copies of assets downloaded or generated while Resonite is open. This allows for quick retrieval of previously seen assets without the need to re-download or re-generate them.
Data path
The data path mainly houses the local database, the key used to unlock the local database, and a miscellaneous asset cache.
Location of folders
The location of the cache and data paths on any specific machine can always be found in the first few lines of the Resonite log file:
ℹ️11:23:46 PM.388 (FPS: 0): AppPath: /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Resonite DataPath: /home/user/.local/share/Yellow Dog Man Studios/Data CachePath: /home/user/.cache/Yellow Dog Man Studios/Cache LocalePath: /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Resonite/Locale
Default locations
Cache path
On Windows, the default cache directory is %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\Yellow Dog Man Studios\Resonite. To get to this path easily:
- Push Windows Key + R
- Enter
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\Yellow Dog Man Studios\Resoniteinto the Run box that appears - Press Enter or the Ok button
On Linux, the default cache directory is $XDG_CACHE_HOME/Yellow Dog Man Studios/Cache. If XDG_CACHE_HOME is not defined, it will default to $HOME/.cache. If Resonite is launched through Flatpak Steam, then XDG_CACHE_HOME will be $HOME/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/cache.
Data path
On Windows, the default data directory is %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Yellow Dog Man Studios\Resonite. To get to this path easily:
- Push Windows Key + R
- Enter
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Yellow Dog Man Studios\Resoniteinto the Run box that appears - Press Enter or the Ok button
On Linux, the default data directory is $XDG_DATA_HOME/Yellow Dog Man Studios/Data. If XDG_DATA_HOME is not defined, it will default to $HOME/.local/share. If Resonite is launched through Flatpak Steam, then XDG_DATA_HOME will be $HOME/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data.
Deletion and relocation
Sometimes, it may be desired or required to relocate or delete these directories. Relocation is done with a command line argument, and deletion is done manually. More information on relocation and deletion can be found on the relocating and deleting Resonite directories page.
