Hi,
I see that many files is leaving under C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Roaming by portable apps even they close properly.
I know that user-name\AppData\Roaming directory is using for user-data files (it equals of /home/user-name directory on linux).
So if I open an app which is installed locally on machine, it will resume with portable-apps.com user datas?
And out of curiosity... I wanna ask what is the differences between folders:
C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Local
C:\Users\user-name\AppData\LocalLow
C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Roaming
C:\ProgramData
I google them, but mostly people say that they are inludes user-data files. But no one knows what is the difference bettween them.
Thank you

official apps don't leave files there unless they are crashed (unsafe eject, closing windows without closing apps). Roaming is APPDATA, the equivalent of Application Data in old Windows. Local is LOCALAPPDATA, the equivalent of Local Settings, Application Data. Don't think Low has an old windows equivalent.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
