On **Windows** (when using Ardor mainnet) the blockchain will be downloaded to your "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Ardor\nxt\_db" folder. Make sure that you can see hidden folders. You can find your AppData folder very quickly by entering "%appdata%" in the address bar of the file explorer.

On **MacOS** (when using Ardor mainnet) your default user directory is ~/.ardor so the blockchain should be in ~/.ardor/nxt\_db

For **Linux**, you usually use the Platform Independent Zip Package and the blockchain is located in the nxt\_db directory in the directory of the unzipped package
