How to change files at /home/ubuntu folder?

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) I'm using the Ubuntu bash inside Windows 10 but I created a folder but can't find it on Windows filesystem.

Using bash inside windows I created a folder inside /home/ubuntu Now I wanted to find that folder at Windows of course, set some files and change it using a notepad++ using Windows, not the bash. Is that posible?

Solution

  • The location of the WSL root changed with the official release of the Spring Creator's Update. It's now dependent on the choice of distro. With Ubuntu I found mine at:

    C:\Users\oleni\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\home

    I put mine in the Quick Access menu in Explorer to get at it more easily.
