The /root
folder is the home folder of the root user (the administrator). That is, you (as a normal user) cannot see the personal stuff of the administrator which is fine and is the right thing to happen. Now, the root partition is just /
. I guess you just misinterpreted the meaning of the folder /root
and the root partition /
.
The root partition (and corresponding folder) is called /
. So if you need to see your file system you just need to type /
in the locations bar.
Also, notice there is an item (in the image you uploaded) which reads File System
under DEVICES. Click it and see what reads on the locations bar.
the "root" folder is located in /
not /root/
that is the root user or "superuser" s home folder, as such you need root access to open it
