How to Restore the Game to its Original State?

There is a "Revert back to unmodded" button in the game's installation folder, but it won't give you any results. To revert the game to its factory settings, you need to run a file integrity check through Steam, and it will restore everything automatically.

Safe Mod Installation

So, let's get started:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the command prompt, then type in "AppData".

   

2. Locate the "LocalLow" folder and inside it, you'll find the "Team Cherry" directory.

   

3. Once you're inside Team Cherry, our target is Hollow Knight.

   

4. Look for files with the ".dat" extension.

5. Now, you need to copy all the files to a folder that is convenient for you.

That's it, you've taken precautions. In case your save file gets lost in the game, you can restore it.
