Hello @uzair94,

There’s been a major change since your previous version, namely, change in Desktop platform to electron.

One of the things to have changed is a change in how data folder path is stored:

> You will need to click `File` in the top menu and then click `Change Data Folder...`
> 
> It’s now Electron saving the custom data folder location in its config path, which solves the issue in [this topic](https://forum.manager.io/t/manager-io-folder-appearing-in-user-documents-folder-on-mac/52948).

This means that you may need to search for your old data folder location – search for the folder containing your `*.manager` files – and that will be the path for your data folder.
