What's in user://

Godot writes to user:// when your game uses paths like "user://save.json". Common files to clean during development:

Extension	Source
.cfg / .json	Save data
.log	Log files
.cache	Engine/game caches

On-disk location:

Platform	Path
Windows	%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\<project>\
