# Cricket 07 browser saves: local OPFS userdata storage

Learn how Cricket 07 browser stores profiles, rosters, and tournament saves in persistent OPFS storage.

## Save through the in-game Cricket 07 menus

Whenever you create a player profile, customize rosters, or save an Ashes tour or tournament inside Cricket 07, use the game's standard save screens. Wait for the in-game save confirmation to finish before closing or refreshing your browser tab.

## How `/opfs/userdata` persistence works

The Cricket 07 browser runtime mounts two separate directories inside your browser's Origin Private File System (OPFS):

- `/opfs/c07game`: Holds the read-only unpacked game archives (`data.gob`, stadium packs, audio banks, and `.vp6` movies).
- `/opfs/userdata`: Holds your personal Cricket 07 profiles, saved tournaments, settings, and custom rosters.

Because `/opfs/userdata` is stored locally on your disk under your current browser profile, your progress remains available the next time you open `cricket-07.org` on the same computer and browser.

## Keeping saves safe when resetting game files

If you ever need to re-download the game archives—for example, when switching from Lite Edition to Regular Edition or fixing an interrupted download—use the **Clear downloaded files** button in **Player options**. That action only removes `/opfs/c07game` and the service-worker cache, leaving `/opfs/userdata` untouched.

## Browser storage boundaries

OPFS storage belongs to `cricket-07.org` within your specific desktop browser profile. Incognito/private windows discard OPFS storage when closed, and running your browser's full "Clear site data" command will remove both installed game assets and saved profiles.
