I've installed Xubuntu 20.04 without installing rEFind and now I can't boot to Mac or Windows bootcamp. That's a separate issue I'm going to fix. But before I do, I want to backup some files to my external hard drive.

The only OS I can access is Xubuntu. In file manager I can read the BOOTCAMP partition. But how do I access %LocalAppData%. In Windows I would use 'run' or search via Windows Explorer, but in Linux I don't have those options.

The version of Windows is Windows 10.

Does anyone know how I can access this directory?

  • Hello. What file system type are the partitions you are trying to access?

  • @David It's NTFS, is that what you mean?

  • You need to add support for NTFS and mount the drives to access them cyberciti.biz/faq/…

It was actually really easy. The drive mounts automatically; that wasn't the issue.

By Googling it (I don't know why I couldn't find the answer days ago) the file path is \Users\<name>\AppData\Local.

You have to press cmd + shift + period(full stop) to show hidden folders, and then navigate to it.
