Here are the locations where Ripcord stores its settings and data caches. If you want to completely remove all traces of Ripcord from your computer, or just want to free up some space or reset your settings, you can delete this stuff. Make sure Ripcord isn't running when you try to delete the files.

Any operating system

If you want to find the location where Ripcord stores its data and you still have the Ripcord executable, launch Ripcord, open the Preferences window, and in the menu bar, choose File -> Open Settings & Data Path.

If you don't have the Ripcord executable anymore, or you can't or don't want to run it anymore, keep reading.

Windows

By default, the Ripcord data directory is located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Ripcord. You can copy and paste that path into a Windows Explorer location bar to view it.

Ripcord doesn't write anything to the Windows registry.

By the way, you can run Ripcord for Windows in "portable data" mode. Just create a directory named portable_data alongside Ripcord.exe, and Ripcord will put its data there instead of the default location.

Mac

The data directory is at $HOME/Library/Application Support/Ripcord.

Linux

The data directory location depends on your XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable. There's a good chance it will be $HOME/.local/share/Ripcord.
