Backing up your local clips

If you have clips that have not currently been uploaded to Medal, you can either upload them now and skip this step, or we can back them up to be uploaded at a later date.

To back up your clips, go to the Search Bar and type %appdata%. Open the folder.
Locate the Medal folder in %appdata% and double-click to open. Next, locate the store folder and double-click to open.
Locate the clips.json file, right-click and select Copy. Find an area on your desktop, right-click again, and select Paste.

Beginning the Purge

First, we need to shut down Medal. Go to the bottom right of your Taskbar, click on the ^ button, find the Medal Gold Icon, right-click it, and select Quit Medal.
