Unable to locate my specific Paratext project folder

Question

Hi Friends,

I have this project with the name RNH. It was, of course, created by me and registered in Paratext Registry. I could open it in Paratext and work on it. But when I tried to locate that folder inside My Paratext 8 Projects folder in my C: drive I couldn't find the RNH folder. The rest of the project folders are there, but this specific folder couldn't be found. I am not sure what I did wrong.

Now I wanted to add files like custom.vrs and custom.sty using copy/paste. I need your help on how to locate/find this folder.

Thank you.

Occasionally I find that people have multiple folders for Paratext (My Paratext 8 Projects and My Paratext 9 Projects). Sometimes there are folders on other drives or in other locations. Using a tool to search the drive can be very useful.

I use a tool called "Everything" (Search Everything) from Void Tools (https://www.voidtools.com/downloads/). Here is an example where I was looking for a folder called \pdt15. Basically it makes a database of the file names on the drive. You can search for any part of the name of a file. You can see that it found files but all are in the path of \pdt15.

Thank you. I could find a walk around with this guide.
