Where are the user profile directories of Google Chrome located in?
It may seem like a very simple question, but I couldn't find it.
I checked inside %APPDATA%, but there were noting relevant there.
My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1.

%APPDATA% by default (as far as I am aware) takes you to the Roaming App Data.
Chrome resides in your Local App Data (%LOCALAPPDATA%). You will find Chrome's User "stuff" in:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\

To get a straight answer, visit chrome://version/. Your complete, ready to copy-and-paste profile path will be there, under Profile Path, along with other useful info about your chrome install.

User profiles are stored in User Data Directory and it vary depending on the operating system.
The easiest way is to navigate to chrome://version and look for the Profile Path field.
Example (Windows):
- [Profile Path] C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
- [User Data Dir] C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data

1Thank for telling the difference between %APPDATA% and %LOCALAPPDATA%. – hkBattousai – 2011-08-28T23:19:59.917
9You can find the directory of the current profile you are running by looking at
chrome://version/: the Profile Path should show you the exact directory. – Kariem – 2014-02-26T11:55:03.100
