Data Storage Locations

DesireCore stores all data in the local file system, not relying on cloud servers to store your personal data.

Platform Data Root Directories

~ represents the user home directory. For example, on macOS: /Users/your_username/.desirecore/

Directory	Purpose	Contents	Can Delete?
`config/`	Global configuration	User settings, preferences, API Key configuration	Restores defaults after deletion
`config/avatar/`	User avatar	JPEG/PNG/WebP format avatar files	Safe to delete
`agents/`	Agent本体	Subdirectory for each agent (Git repository)	Loses agent data after deletion
`agents/desirecore/`	Core agent	DesireCore built-in agent	Auto-reinstalls after deletion
`users/`	User data	Personal profile, preferences, relationship memories with agents	Loses personalized data after deletion
`skills/`	Global skills	All installed global skill packs	Built-in skills auto-reinstall after deletion
`runs/`	Run records	Session records, task receipts	Safe to delete (loses history)
`cache/`	Cache	Index cache, relationship graph cache	Safe to delete (auto-rebuilds)
`logs/`	Logs	Runtime log files	Safe to delete
`market/`	Market data	Official market repository cache	Safe to delete (re-fetches)

DesireCore application installation paths:

Platform	Application Path
macOS	`/Applications/DesireCore.app`
Windows	`C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Programs\desirecore\`
Linux	Depends on `AppImage` file location

File	Path	Description
User Config	`config/user-profile.json`	User basic info and preferences
Compute Config	`config/compute/`	API Key and provider configuration
Shortcuts Config	`config/shortcuts.json`	Custom keyboard shortcuts

The following directories contain important non-reproducible data. Regular backup is recommended:

Priority	Directory	Reason
High	`agents/`	All learning outcomes and configurations of agents
High	`users/`	Personal profile and relationship memories
Medium	`config/`	Personal settings and API Keys
Medium	`skills/`	User-defined skills
Low	`runs/`	Historical task records

You can export all data as backup with one click through "Settings > Data & Privacy > Export Data".

In "Settings > Data & Privacy > Clear Local Data", you can selectively clear:
