## Install notes:
As this is a complete rewrite and many things have changed all versions of YouTube Music Desktop App before 2.0.0 are considered a different application and will have a leftover install and data of Version 1.Y.Z. Version 2.0.0 will look for your old configuration on first launch to migrate your settings if applicable. Please remember to uninstall the older version of YouTube Music Desktop App after successfully launching 2.0.0.
Version 2.0.0 should use `YouTube Music Desktop App` for its new data directory and if you're looking to remove data from Verson 1.Y.Z you can look for these folders.
**Deleting these folders are at your own risk!**
