See https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/3891 Me, and I believe many other people mistakenly assumed the `Download directory` in the settings to be the place where seeded content is stored. There are some tickets of people getting surprised after getting notification about no space left on system disk despite them specifying this directory to be on a different volume. After adding this note I hope it will become easier for people to understand what are the steps to seed properly and not worry about their system disk getting clogged. Feedback and corrections to the message are also welcome.

Depending on which OS and wallet you use, LBRY files may be stored in several places.
|
|
|
|
## Windows
|
|
|
|
- `C:\Program Files\LBRY` [32-bit located in Program Files(x86)] - LBRY application itself
|
|
- `C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\lbry\lbrynet` or `%localappdata%\lbry\lbrynet` - Daemon configuration, logs, encrypted blob files
|
|
- `C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\lbry\lbryum` or `%localappdata%\lbry\lbryum` - Wallet and blockchain data
|
|
|
|
*\*If you originally installed v0.14 and below, the lbrynet and lbryum directories will be in `%appdata%`*
|
|
|
|
## MacOS
|
|
|
|
- `~/Library/Application Support/LBRY` - LBRY application, daemon configuration, logs and encrypted blob files
|
|
- `~/.lbryum` - Wallet and blockchain data
|
|
- `~/.lbrycrd` - Location for [lbrycrdd](/faq/standalone-wallet) full blockchain data (separate install)
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Hint: copy/paste the above directories into Finder - Click `Go` from the Finder top menu bar, then `Go To Folder`*
|
|
|
|
## Linux
|
|
|
|
- `/opt/LBRY` - LBRY application itself
|
|
- `~/.local/share/lbry/lbrynet` - Daemon configuration and encrypted blob files
|
|
- `~/.local/share/lbry/lbryum` - Wallet and blockchain headers
|
|
- `~/.lbrycrd` - Location for [lbrycrdd](/faq/standalone-wallet) full blockchain data (separate install)
|
|
|
|
*\*If you originally installed v0.14 and below, the lbrynet and lbryum directories will be `~/.lbrynet` / `~/.lbryum`*
|
|
|
|
## Android {#android}
|
|
*Use file manager to navigate to the path below*
|
|
- `Internal storage/android/data/io.lbry.browser/files/lbrynet` - Daemon configuration, logs, encrypted blob files

Note: do not confuse blobfiles with `Download directory` that you define in app settings. The `Download directory` is just a path where all downloaded files are copied for your potential convenience, the files placed there are not used by LBRY anyhow. You can disable saving copies of all viewed content in _Advanced Settings_. If you want to change the location of actual `/blobfiles/` participating in LBRY network distribution, refer to [this instruction](https://lbry.com/faq/how-to-change-lbry-blob-files).
