Had to reinstall Windows last night due to a problem and also had to reinstall MobileSheets. I chose the option for Windows reinstall that allowed me to keep my personal files. Where does MobileSheets store its data? Can it be reloaded into my new MobileSheets install or is that data now gone/overwritten? Thanks in advance for any help-

The Microsoft Store version of MobileSheets stores its files here: C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Packages\41730Zubersoft.MobileSheets_ys1c8ct2g6ypr\LocalState
If the files are still there, you should be able to just load MobileSheets and your library will be available like it was before.

Yes, it does appear that all of the application data is gone. That is an empty database file for sure. Did you ever create a library backup file under Settings->Backup and Restore->Backup Library? One of my priorities in the next month or two is to add a prompt for users to backup their library at regular intervals.

Thanks! I appreciate you saying that.

I still have access to the majority of the pdf's I had stored in there so not a disaster to have to load them in again. Thanks for the info regarding how data is stored; that will help me in the future. Really love the app, btw!
