Windows 10: Can't find "AppData" under Users

I run Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. For several days, I've been trying, without success, to reinstall Google Drive. One suggestion was to clear the app's cache in "AppData"; I went to my user folder under "Users", but I couldn't find "AppData" listed. What could be wrong especially since I had reinstalled Windows on Sunday, and how can I fix it?

How to access appdata folder

Hi Jaden,

Thank you posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty with the problem.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps.

• Write in the search box the following: “%appdata%” .
• After the search is finished left click or tap on the folder that the search feature found.
• If it takes you to the following path: “C:\Users\The user that you are logged in with\AppData\Roaming”.
• It means that your folders are still there but they are hidden.
• Click on “View”.
• Check the box “Hidden items”

Also you refer to the below link.

Looking at AppData of different users

I've been dealing with the Windows Process Manager 32 bit bug/virus on my PC so it's kinda buggy and weird. I got it fixed. Is there a step-by-step on how to get to the AppData of other users? Google, at the moment, is being buggy and I can't find a simple
step by step on how to find this.

 

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
