Another way to open this folder is through the Run command – press Win+R hotkey, type %LocalAppData%\Puffin\ and press Enter. You can also open that folder and delete all the files to get rid of everything. When you relaunch the Puffin browser, it will recreate all the files without holding any previous data.

If you have not installed Puffin web browser in your Windows PC, then you can grab the beta version from https://www.puffinbrowser.com/. In the last day alone, it has been updated twice – which means that the developers have been working day and night to make it better.
