Where is the best path to store desktop applications data on each OS?

I want to make a cross-platform desktop app which has a small config file on local filesystem.
Where is the best path to store application data on each OS?

Solution

  • Usually games or apps whose data is to be stored,and not deleted even after uninstalling the app itself,is stored in the users own path:

    C:/Users/username/appdata

    The appdata directory is hidden so you can either go there from cmd,or unhide it from:

    folder options(search in windows tab)/view

    Hope this was useful.
