Resonite has two locations, outside of the main installation directory which store files and folders that help Resonite run:

  1. Cache - Store's temporary copies of assets and other items that are downloaded or generated while you are using Resonite.
  2. Database/Data - Stores a local copy of your items and things that you are working on, your login status and settings.

Note that it path is shown inside Resonite Log, in the first few lines saying "DataPath=" and "CachePath=" if those default location does not exist for you.
