# 9.8. Storage

### ⚙️ Storage

By default, Hidemyacc will save profile data at C:/Users/.hidemyacc/profiles. You can click the "Select folder" button to change the folder where profile data is saved according to your own needs.

### ⚙️ Clear cache

To free up memory space, you can choose to clear the cache (delete data stored in the browser's temporary storage).

### ⚙️ Clean unused profiles

Every time you create a profile on Hidemyacc, the software creates a folder on drive C to store that profile's data (cookies, cache, history, local storage, etc.). When you delete a Hidemyacc profile in the app, the system also deletes the corresponding folder on drive C. However, if the profile has been opened on multiple devices, deleting it on Device A only deletes the local folder on Device A — the folders on Device B, Device C, Device D, etc. remain untouched and can cause drive C to fill up over time.

This feature lets you scan and delete the data folders of profiles that no longer exist on the Hidemyacc server, freeing up storage space on drive C.

To use this feature, follow these steps:

1. Open Hidemyacc, go to **Setting**, then select **Storage**.
2. Under **CLEAN UNUSED PROFILES**, click the **Scan** button so the system scans and checks for profiles that no longer exist on the server.
3. Click **Delete** to remove these folders and free up drive C storage space.
