.minecraft and %appdata% [duplicate]

I assume you have windows because you've tried run.

Check where your Minecraft profiles are saved in the Launcher:

Under Installations find your version and click edit in the dropdown menu to the right of the version.

Then check where your Game Directory is saved: Game directory

If it says: <Use default directory> it should be in your AppData\Roaming folder.

The easiest way to find the folder is by using the run then typing %appdata% and hit enter: Run

You should then find the .minecraft folder at the top: folder

If this doesn't work you can try to search for it in the explorer window: Eplorer

It might help to enable view: Hidden items: Hidden items
