App Data

The App Data tab lists per-application data folders across the AppData roots, sized and sorted, so you can see which applications are using the most space — and which folders may be left over from software you've uninstalled. Read-only.

App Data tab

Press Scan app data (or Tools › Scan App Data). Results are sorted by size, largest first.

Status hints

These are conservative heuristics to review, not deletion targets:

  • Orphaned? — the folder's name matches no installed program, cross-referenced against the Windows Uninstall registry keys. It might be left over from uninstalled software — or it might belong to a portable app or a program that registers under a different name. Verify before removing anything.
  • Large & stale — over ~1 GB and untouched for roughly six months. A candidate for review if you're short on space.

The summary line reports how many folders look possibly orphaned.

Acting on the results

Right-click → Open in Explorer to inspect a folder, then decide for yourself. As everywhere in the app, nothing is deleted for you.

caution

An Orphaned? flag is a hint, not a verdict. Some applications store data under a vendor name that doesn't match their installed-program name, so a live app's folder can be flagged. Always look inside before deleting.
