Where are the Online Bible Files located?
The Online Bible (OLB) files are stored in three locations on your computer.
They are also three types of files.
- Program files, found in the Output folder
- Books present for all users, found in the Shared folder
- User files such as settings and notes, found in the Users folder
The best way to find the three locations is to start the OLB, choose Tools from the menu, then Diagnostics, and finally Windows Resources.
In the screen that appears, you can find the three locations.
The output folder is in a standard installation at C:\Program files (x86)\Bible\
In older computers, which are still using a Windows 32 bit version, this output folder is C:\Program file\Bible.
The default user folder depends on OneDrive being used.
Without OneDrive, the folder is usually C:\Users\username\Documents\Bible
With OneDrive, the folder is C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Documents\Bible
More information can be found in the article about the user folder.
The shared folder is usually: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Online Bible\
When the Online Bible is installed, these locations are already set.
You can change them, but it is recommended not to do so.
In any case, for the user folder and the shared folder, never choose a location in the output folder.
It is only for the programme.
Removal of the Online Bible
To delete the Online Bible, it is best to use the uninstall apps feature in Windows, which can be found in the Windows settings. After that, it is important to check that the three locations mentioned are empty or removed.
Keep in mind that all your personal files, as well as all the books in the shared folder, will be deleted.
You may want to reinstall due to problems.
Before deleting the Online Bible, you can make a copy of the user folder and the shared folder to another location on your computer, or on an external disk or USB stick.
After deleting the Online Bible and reinstalling it, you can then use the files from the copy to restore your data.
