This page describes the general file structure used by Recyclarr for its data. Many of these are
platform-specific.
## Application Data Directory
The application data directory is the root location for Recyclarr's files. With the exception of the
main `recyclarr.yml` file, everything that Recyclarr reads or writes, by default, starts with this
path.
| Platform | Location |
| -------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Windows | `%APPDATA%\recyclarr` |
| Linux | `~/.config/recyclarr` |
| MacOS | `~/Library/Application Support/recyclarr` |
## Default YAML Configuration File
The default YAML configuration file is named `recyclarr.yml` and it is always located in the
application data directory (listed above, listed for your platform).
For backward compatibility, if the `recyclarr.yml` file is located adjacent to your `recyclarr`
executable, that will be loaded *first* and a warning is printed to the console. In this scenario,
even if a `recyclarr.yml` file exists in your application data directory, *it will not be loaded!*
The solution is to delete or move the `recyclarr.yml` sitting next to the executable.
