* %APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\
* %APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\
On [[Mac OS X]], they are stored in:
* ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects/
* ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/
On [[Linux]] or [[Unix]], they are stored in:
* ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/
* ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/
For Linux and Unix systems, if the open-source [[Gnash (software)|Gnash]] plugin is being used instead of the official Adobe Flash, they will instead be found at:
* ~/.gnash/SharedObjects/
====PPAPI====
When using Google Chrome the ___location for the Pepper Flash (PPAPI) storage is:
* '''Windows:''' %localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects
* '''Mac OS X:''' ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash/WritableRoot/#SharedObjects/
* '''Linux:''' ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash/WritableRoot/#SharedObjects/
In Microsoft Edge with Chromium, the ___location for the Pepper Flash (PPAPI) storage is:
* '''Windows:''' %localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects
* '''Mac OS X:''' ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Edge/Default/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash/WritableRoot/#SharedObjects/
