Linphone desktop 6.2.4 local data, provisioning and support logs

Separate the stable 6.2.4 artifacts from legacy file-tree documentation, effective profile state, account deletion, provisioned values and sanitized support evidence.

Reviewed 2026-10-24Official Linphone 6.2 release, stable desktop archives, remote-provisioning, URI-handler, version-scoped file-tree and support-log documentation was reviewed October 24, 2026. The Windows, macOS and Linux stable archives listed desktop 6.2.4 dated October 22, 2026. Package listing, retrieved artifact, signature, installed build, effective user profile, configuration, databases, provisioning result, account deletion, transfer behavior, URI handling, log upload and completed calls remain separate evidence. The first-party file-tree page explicitly describes desktop 4.2, so its paths and filenames are investigation leads rather than proof of effective 6.2.4 storage.

Record the 6.2.4 artifact and installed state separately

The official Windows, macOS and Linux stable archives listed 6.2.4 artifacts dated October 22, 2026. Preserve filename, source, retrieval time, hash or signature result, installation record, executable path and About version. The latest alias, a cached package or a distribution catalogue does not establish the running build.

Do not overwrite the installation or clear the profile merely to align it with an archive listing. First preserve the symptom, user context and current state.

Label the documented file tree as desktop 4.2 evidence

The file-tree reference places application data and configuration in platform-specific locations and names call-history.db, friends.db, linphone.db, an older message-history.db, linphonerc, linphone.conf, logs and binary-storage folders. The page explicitly says the documentation is based on desktop 4.2.

For 6.2.4, use process ownership, recently modified files, controlled restarts and application logs to prove effective locations. Do not present a legacy path as the current universal layout.

Preserve configuration, databases and attachments independently

Retain user, permissions, size, modification time, hash and database journal companions before inspection. Work from copies and avoid opening production databases with tools that may write migrations or journals.

A registered account can coexist with missing history; restored contacts do not prove messages, settings or credentials. Treat call history, contacts, conversations, meetings, attachments, thumbnails, configuration and secrets as separate objects with separate retention and disclosure rules.

Bound account deletion to the local 6.2 claim

Linphone 6.2 says account deletion removes authentication information, call history, conversations and meetings from the application. Preserve the exact account and pre-delete inventory before an approved test. Verify local files after deletion without inferring erasure from backups, server databases, other devices, remote participants or exported material.

A missing screen after deletion is not proof of secure destruction. Local deletion also does not revoke a SIP password or remove provider-side registration and billing records.

Trace provisioning and URI handling before restoring values

Remote XML is applied at application start, and an entry needs overwrite="true" to replace an existing key. Desktop URI handlers can initiate calls or fetch configuration. Retain the selected profile, URL or URI, downloaded content, overwrite attributes, timing and effective value before calling a local change lost.

Correct the demonstrated owner. Do not disable transport protection, erase authentication or merge an older profile into 6.2.4 while provisioning ownership or schema remains uncertain.

Collect and restore with privacy and rollback controls

For one approved reproduction, clear logs, reproduce the fault, stop collection and retain the exact interval. Review locally before sharing because the vendor guidance warns against disclosing passwords and other sensitive information. Record recipient, upload link, access and retention separately.

Restore only the minimum approved object after proving version, owner and schema. Retest startup, account selection, registration, data visibility, audio devices and the original workflow. No workstation, file, database, provisioning source, support upload or call was inspected or tested for this guide.
