title: Settings, Caches, Logs, and Plugins
---
Every IntelliJ-based IDE stores its local settings, caches, log and installed plugins on a hard drive. Location of the IDE files depends on the operating system, product and version. IDE settings directory name is made up of the product code name and product version. We will use `<product_system_name><product_version>` as an alias for the product internal settings home directory name.
## Directory locations
* **Windows:** You can find internal configuration data in `<User home>\.<product_system_name><product_version>`
* **Linux:** You can find internal configuration data in `~/.<product_system_name><product_version>`
In the folder you can find two subdirectories:
* `config` that contains user-specific settings.
* `system` that stores `IntelliJ Platform` data caches.
* **Mac OS X:** You can find internal configuration data in:
* `/Applications/<product_system_name><product_version>/Contents/plugins` contains the catalog with plugins.
* `~/Library/Preferences/<product_system_name><product_version>` contains the rest of the configuration settings.
* `~/Library/Caches/<product_system_name><product_version>` contains data caches, logs, local history, etc.
These files can be quite significant in size.
* `~/Library/Logs/<product_system_name><product_version>` contains logs.
## Product System Names
| Product name | Directory name prefix |
|---------------------------------|----------------------:|
| IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition | `IntelliJIdea` |
| IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition | `IdeaIC` |
| RubyMine | `RubyMine` |
| WebStorm (7.0+) | `WebStorm` |
| PhpStorm and WebStorm (pre-7.0) | `WebIde` |
| PyCharm | `PyCharm` |
| AppCode | `appCode` |
| CLion | `clion` |
| DataGrip | `DataGrip` |
## Example
To go to the *IntelliJ IDEA 14* plugin directory on Mac execute the following command:
```bash
cd /Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ 14.app/Contents/plugins
```
