com.dosbox.dosbox.savedState
This folder stores macOS window-restoration data for DOSBox so the app can reopen with its previous window state after you quit and relaunch it.
What is com.dosbox.dosbox.savedState?
com.dosbox.dosbox.savedState is a Saved Application State folder created by macOS for DOSBox. Saved Application State records how an app’s windows were arranged when you last used it, such as whether a window was open and where it was positioned, so macOS can restore that state the next time the app launches. This data is separate from your DOS games, mounted folders, and most app-specific content. Users usually encounter this folder only when reviewing Library storage or cleaning up app data in their home folder. If it is removed, macOS simply stops restoring the previous DOSBox window session until a new saved state is created.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
This is user-level macOS session data, not a core system file. Deleting it does not remove the DOSBox app itself, but it can reset window restoration for DOSBox and discard the last saved reopen state. The bundle ID in the folder name matches the DOSBox app identifier pattern, which is consistent with a normal Saved Application State item.
Recommendation: Keep this folder if you want DOSBox to reopen with its previous window state. If you do not use DOSBox anymore, or you want to reset how its windows reopen, you can remove this folder and macOS will recreate it later if DOSBox is launched again.
