Save File Location Guide

Default Save File Location

The default save file path for Hollow Knight: Silksong on Windows is:

C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight Silksong\default

• [YourUsername] is your personal Windows user profile name (e.g., JohnDoe, Alice, Gamer123).

How to Find the AppData Folder (Step-by-Step)

The AppData folder is hidden by default in Windows. Here are the easiest ways to access it:

Method 1: Using the Run Command (Fastest)

1. Press Windows Key + R on your keyboard to open the “Run” dialog box.
2. Type (or copy and paste) this exact text: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow
3. Click OK or press Enter.
4. This will open File Explorer directly inside your LocalLow folder. From there, navigate to Team Cherry > Hollow Knight Silksong > default.

Method 2: Revealing Hidden Folders in File Explorer

1. Open File Explorer (the folder icon on your taskbar).
2. Click the View tab at the top.
3. In the “Show/hide” section, check the box for Hidden items.
4. Now you can navigate to your user folder (C:\Users\[YourUsername]) and the AppData folder will be visible. Open it, then go to LocalLow > Team Cherry > Hollow Knight Silksong > default.

Method 3: Direct Paste into File Explorer Address Bar

1. Open any folder window.
2. Click on the address bar at the top (where it shows the current folder path).
3. Paste the full path: C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight Silksong\default
   • Remember to replace [YourUsername] with your actual username.

Important Notes:

• Cloud Saves: If you are playing on Steam, it will likely also sync your saves to the cloud. Modifying local files can cause conflicts with cloud saves.
• Backup: Always copy your save files to another location before editing them.
• Pre-Release Information: Please note that this information is based on the structure of the first game and developer conventions. The final path might change slightly upon the game’s official release.
