Okay I moved it to a different folder and I got this white box. When I moved it back to the folder it was initially in when I started the game for the first time, it ran fine. Is there localappdata that is folder based causing this to happen? I want to be able to move it into a different folder and still play. I even tried redownloading and unzipping to said folder and still got a white screen, which makes me think it saved appdata that is location based and now I can't move it anywhere else until I find it.
I don't know the reason of your trouble but concerning your question...
Does the game itself store any data in the windows user directories ? Generally no (see *** EDIT*** hereafter), AFAIK.
But, this game is a RPG Maker MV game. And this game engine uses NWJS (

).
Does NWJS store any data in the user directories ? Yes, indeed.
The data for NWJS are relative to "internal" (i.e. config, statistics and so on) data for it (i.e. generally nothing directly relative to the game itself - see *** EDIT hereafter ***).
The concerned directories are by default:
- %LOCALAPPDATA%\nwjs, and all its subdirectories,
- %LOCALAPPDATA%\User Data, and all its subdirectories.
But, it's also possible for a NWJS application to specify a directory in the %LOCALAPPDATA% directory in order to store these kind of files. It's done via the "name" entry in the "package.json" file of the concerned application.
Which is the case for this game. Extract of its "package.json" file: "name": "KADOKAWA/RPGMV",
So, the NWJS data for this game are stored in: %LOCALAPPDATA%\KADOKAWA\RPGMV, and all its subdirectories.
You can delete it safely for the game (i.e. files will be re-created automatically when the game is started again).
*** EDIT ***
CAUTION: Some -rare- games use these directories for their save game files. So, deleting these directories will result to lose your previous saves; potentially including saves from other games that the one your currently playing (if you have installed several RPG Maker games).
***End of EDIT ***
But BE VERY CAREFUL with this folder (i.e. %LOCALAPPDATA%). Data inside %LOCALAPPDATA% are very important for Windows and a lots of programs: an error could be very "dramatic".
