the only way to see everything is with a good file manager not supplied by microsoft or any big companies or sketchy sites, for eg, an ftp transfer tool, another good way is to strait up search the file with your computers master cosole *cough* command prompt *cough* to let you use file explorer to go to any file it says isnt there but definitely IS, just make sure not to get viruses or antiviruses while downloading any file tools .
p.s. dont bother downloading any antimalware unless you make it yourself.
