Sometimes you might want to reinstall the modpack or remove old instances of it. Here's how to do it.
Before uninstalling the modpack, it is highly recommended to back up the contents you've made in it.
Find the .minecraft folder.
CurseForge App: right click on the modpack tile → Open Folder
Modrinth App: right click on the modpack tile → 📂 Open folder
Prism Launcher: right click on the instance → Folder
→ .minecraft
MultiMC: right click on the instance → Minecraft Folder
Minecraft Launcher: click Installations
→ hover on the instance → click 📁
Find the folders you want to back up.

- your local worlds
resourcepacks
- if you added any (it is not needed to copy )
shaders
- if you use any
screenshots

servers.dat

Copy the chosen folders or their contents to your preferred location, such as Desktop or Documents.
