Need to check how much space a profile uses? The fastest way is to copy the profile ID, find that folder in your file system search, and check its size.

Option 1: use the file system search

1. Go to the “Profiles” page in Multilogin
2. Right-click the profile you need and click “Copy profile ID”

3. Open the “profile” folder in your file system:
   1. Windows: C:\Users\%username%\mlx\profiles
   2. macOS: /Users/%username%/mlx/profiles
   3. Linux: /home/%username%/mlx/profiles
4. Use your file system search to look up the copied profile ID
5. Check the folder size:
   1. Windows: right-click the folder → “Properties”
   2. macOS: right-click the folder → “Get Info”
   3. Linux: open Terminal in that folder and run du -sh .

Option 2: find the folder manually

Step 1: open the “profiles” folder

Here's where you can find the “profiles” folder in your file system:

• Windows: C:\Users\%username%\mlx\profiles
• macOS: /Users/%username%/mlx/profiles
• Linux: /home/%username%/mlx/profiles

The “profiles” folder has its hierarchy:

• Inside the “profiles” folder, you’ll see folders named with your User ID
• Inside the User ID folder, you’ll see folders named with your Workspace ID
• Inside the Workspace ID folder, you’ll see folders named with your Profile ID
