The application directory stores
- the saves (every save is a zip-file)
- the Mods
- scenarios
- configuration.
The directory structure is self-explaining.
You can delete for example the configuration-file, it will be generated new with the defaults. It is recommended to create backups from this directory, before you install a new version.
Windows

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Factorio
MacOSx
~/Library/Application Support/factorio
Linux
~/.factorio
