# Anki Media Folder ## Metadata **Status**:: #x **Zettel**:: #zettel/permanent **Created**:: [[2022-10-07]] **Topic**:: [[♯ Anki]] ## Synopsis Anki stores media files in the collection.media folder inside [the collection folder](https://docs.ankiweb.net/files.html). The location to the folder in macOS is `~/Library/Application Support/Anki2/ian/collection.media`. Anki will remove media files which are not linked in any card. But it will ignore files starting with an underscore. ` I uploaded some of my media files to the GitHub repository [doitian/anki.collection.media](https://github.com/doitian/anki.collection.media]).
