Game crashing when loading quest data. Quest data location?

I'm sorry if this is not the proper way to proceed with this, I'm not sure if this is a bug so I didnt file it as a bug report and it seems like if I could just delete my quest and start over it would work but I don't know where to find it. I'm playing on PC and have the most recent version of Forge. If anyone could tell me the default location for the quest data I would be very grateful. I look forward to using your wonderful program again! Thank you in advance.

Here is the crash report, apparently it was "too spammy for a new user" to include in the body of the original post.

In your file explorer, type this in the top:
Code: Select all
%appdata%\Forge\quest\saves
Delete the .dat file (not the .dat.bak file) that has the same name as your quest. Copy and paste the .dat.bak file with the same name and rename that copy to just .dat. This will restore your quest data before it got corrupted.
