So, I have my itchio launcher in local disk. I wanted to change the location of the itch-player and put it into program files. I realized I cant copy and paste it as the files end up not being found. I came to the conclusion that I have to reinstall the launcher.

Which brings me to the question, will I lose my game data if I uninstall the launcher to reinstall it?

Your app’s settings and installed games are stored outside of the installation path of the app. This means that you can reinstall the app without losing anything. If you are trying to move your installation library though, that is a different story. You should be able to quit the app, move the folder, then go back into the app and go to the settings for install locations and tell it about the new path. It will then scan that folder to find the installed games.

Hope that helps

Gotcha, thank you for reassuring me about the game files. I have another question regarding the app. What is that folder for? The itch player folder? I cannot seem to figure it out.  Can I delete it?
