Storage Notes

  • The actual Resonite install should be less than 1GB, but the log files can in certain cases be very large.
  • The cache can get very large, upwards of 30GB so make sure the drive you save cache to has plenty of space. Resonite will benefit by having this on a faster drive such as a SSD. The cache directory can be deleted whenever you need without breaking Resonite. The cache directory can be changed with the -CachePath <file path> launch option.
  • The data directory contains your localDB as well as locally saved assets. This can become fairly large if you store a lot in your local home. The data directory can be changed with the -DataPath <file path> launch option. It is not recommended to delete this as you will lose data. Deleting this will:
    • Reset any non-cloud-synced Resonite settings. For example, you will be sent back to the tutorial (unless you use -SkipIntroTutorial)
    • Reset your local home and nuke anything that was stored in it.
    • Regenerate your machine ID
