Folders & Files Created by Musescore
What files/folders does Musescore create when you first launch it? And where can each be found?
Thus far, I have discovered that, in Linux, Musescore creates 1 folder in Documents, 1 folder in .cache, 1 folder in .local and 1 folder in .config... Not sure about the last one...
Am I missing something else in my Linux files manager that is created by Musescore? The reason I want to know is that everytime I delete a Musescore version, I want to leave no traces of it behind... I just want my next version to be as new as possible, with new folders!

Okokok.
I read it again... but it mentions only 2 folders in the Linux section. Maybe I have to try it in the terminal to understand?

For settings there are only those 2.
And these are thw ones you may want to remove before installing a new version, you most probably don't want to remove your personal scores/plugins/templates etc. too, but is you do, those are easy to find, all under one directory in your home folder, ~/Documents/MuseScore3/

Except for scores you deliberately saved outside that directory, or changes to those default directories in Preferences
