In your edge browser go to edge://version/ page and locate the Profile Path there that would look something like C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Extensions

You can use `about:version` in other Chromium-based browsers to get there as well. – HotN Feb 24 '22 at 04:27

The source code is at C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Extensions\{{id}}!

{{id}} is the id of the extension.

see it at edge://extensions/ and enable developer mode and under the extension it says ID: {{id}}

There is a missing \ after C:\Users – George 2.0 Hope Mar 12 '21 at 22:06
Otherwise, confirmed this answer is valid as of the 'new/chromium' MS Edge as of version: 89.0.774.50 (Official build) (64-bit) – George 2.0 Hope Mar 12 '21 at 22:06

Cannot physically find the `\Microsoft` folder under `%appdata%`, so had to manually type it in the path in the address bar to get there. – Prid Jun 28 '22 at 00:04

Since extensions are appx packages, try C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages. Search for the folder starting with the extension name.

Edit: Actual source code is in the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps You might need to change folder owner to yourself to gain access.

location is

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Extensions

Dir name is extension's id, you can find it at extension detail page's url.

Welcome to Stack Overflow. When adding an answer to an older question with an accepted answer it is very important to point out what new aspect of the question your answer addresses. For example, does this path replace some of the others in other answers starting with a particular version of Edge? – Jason Aller Jun 21 '20 at 01:13

all the other answers are right.

Navigate to C:\users\(username)\appdata\local\microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Extensions, and search for the extension you are looking for, by finding it‘s same id.

or, look at C:\Program Files\WindowsApps. Use Take ownership to gain access to that folder.(that also works for windows 10). Go to the bottom of the page to find the link to download the hack.

note: You can spot another file named "Program Files(x86)". You can use that as an alternative for deleting apps with control panel. That method deleted an heavy app, in just a few secs! It was obvious that it would take time by using control panel.
