### Finding the root folder

The easiest way to see the root folder is to click `Folders` > `View Instance Folder`. Then go to the parent folder.

MultiMC stores files in the same location as the MultiMC application.

- On Windows this folder should be wherever you extracted the MultiMC zip file.
- On Linux and OS X the default install location is `~/.config/local/multimc`

## Folder structure

```
<MultiMC root>
