Instead, it points to the roaming folder inside the AppData which consists of the bulk of all application data. We use roaming because the %appdata% environment variable doesn’t actually point to the exact AppData folder. However, instead of navigating through the File Explorer to the specific location, you can easily use roaming to access the folder. Normally the AppData folder resides in your user folder which is the same directory that contains all your documents, music, pictures, etc. By default, the folder is hidden in your operating system and might not be easily accessed if you do not know the tricks. Despite its usefulness, we came across several cases where users reported that they were unable to find the AppData folder on their Windows.
