default file paths for userdata and common files

Godot User Files

Common Files in the User Folder

Logs are all stored in the /logs folder.
The most recent one does not have a time stamp (named godot.log or godot if the extension is hidden)

Deleting settings and save files can resolve some issues, but can of course reset stuff. It's safer to move them to another folder as backup. File names differ for each game, fill them in for your community if you know them.
Saves are named ###
Settings are named ###

Note: If the files do not appear here for a Steam game, disable Steam cloud saves and make sure you are in online mode. They will appear shortly after. Right click the game in your library sidebar -> Properties -> General -> disable Steam Cloud

File Location

Make sure to actually replace <GAME NAME> with the name of the game you are looking for. Or leave it out and navigate the last step by hand if you don't know the exact folder name.

Windows:

press win + R, search

%appdata%/godot/app_userdata/<GAME NAME>

or manually navigate to

C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\<GAME NAME>

Linux:

navigate to

~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/<GAME NAME>
