universe data

Where a game’s data lives, each part’s size: install, prefix, saves, Universe’s files, recordings, logs; or act on its prefix

Usage: universe data [OPTIONS] <NAME> [COMMAND]
  • <NAME>: Game: exact id, then whole word, substring or path.

Move the prefix into prefixes_root (a rename, or a copy across filesystems); every game on it follows. Steam’s compatdata stays

Usage: universe data <NAME> move-prefix [OPTIONS]
  • -y, --yes: Do not ask for confirmation.

Trash Universe’s prefix once its saves are backed up: the next launch makes a fresh one

Usage: universe data <NAME> reset-prefix [OPTIONS]
  • -y, --yes: Do not ask for confirmation.
