Overview
Helm 3 changed the location of its local state (Helm 2 used ~/.helm). Helm stores configuration based on the XDG base directory specification, as such:
- cached files are stored in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/helm
- configuration is stored in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/helm
- data is stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME/helm
The location of the configuration, cache and data home depend on the operating system:
| Operating System | Configuration Path | Cache Path | Data Path |
| macOS | $HOME/Library/Preferences/helm | $HOME/Library/Caches/helm | $HOME/Library/helm |
| Linux | $HOME/.config/helm | $HOME/.cache/helm | $HOME/.local/share/helm |
