[Qgis-user] Folder .qgis2 - not used any more by QGIS 3 ?

[Stefan Giese (WhereGroup)]

Hi Christine,

yes that is moved to the profile folder you've found. It has similar 
functions but also much more possibilities. You can work with different 
profiles (English, German and so on) and if you want to start with a 
complete new QGIS - just make a new profile. There is stored nearly 
everything, data connections, styles DB, ini file and so on. Start here 
for more information: 
https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/user_manual/introduction/qgis_configuration.html#working-with-user-profiles 
or see this blog:

Best regards

Stefan
