The location of the Docker files depends on your operating system.

The default Docker directory on Linux is located at /var/lib/docker. You can use the following command to view it:

sudo ls /var/lib/docker

On Windows, the default directory for Docker files is C:\ProgramData\Docker. You can navigate to this directory in the file explorer, or use the following command to view it:

dir "C:\ProgramData\Docker"

On Mac, the default directory for Docker files is /var/lib/docker. You can use the following command to view it:

sudo ls /var/lib/docker

Please note that if your Docker installation uses a non-default storage directory, you will need to check your Docker configuration file or Docker Daemon configuration.
