I recently installed the Kali Linux Windows 10 store app and cannot figure out where the home directory is held in the Windows filesystem. I am trying to transfer files into the app, preferably using Windows explorer. Would greatly appreciate any knowledge on where to find it, if it is even accessible through Windows.

Thanks!

C:\Users\[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\KaliLinux.54290C8133FEE_ey 8k8hqnwqnmg\LocalState\rootfs\

You have to enable hidden files and folders to get there, as \AppData\ is hidden

[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME] will be your username for your windows 10 account user it is installed under
