Locating data volumes in Docker Desktop (Windows)
Raw
locate_docker_volumes_on_Windows.md

Solution 1:

The original reference

Type in the Windows file explorer :

  • For Docker Engine v20.10.16: \\wsl$\docker-desktop-data\data\docker\volumes
  • For Docker Engine v19.03: \\wsl$\docker-desktop-data\version-pack-data\community\docker\volumes\

You will have one directory per volume.

Solution 2:

After installed Docker Desktop, we will have a Linux at the end of the Explorer's sidebar with 2 folders inside

  1. Linux\docker-desktop
  2. Linux\docker-desktop-data

Just go to Linux\docker-desktop-data\version-pack-data\community\docker\volumes
