I can't find where steam put my game files in linux folders

If I launch the game it shows some windows folder structure and I can see the game files.
But I can’t find them if i look through the directory tree on my system.
Where are these files? This is driving me crazy.

PCGamingWiki lists game data directories for reference.

In general, games are installed in ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/ and Proton prefixes for Windows games are in ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/<gameid>/pfx/

It is probably in ~/.steam or something like that.
Just try to find big folders in the home

du -sh -t +500M ~/.*; du -sh -t +500M ~/*

The directories they are in are “hidden”.
All that means is that the names of these directories (or files) begin with a . (dot)

CTRL+h to show / hide these in your file manager.

Thanks I do know that

I see this path when I look up the path when I am in the game
C:\users\steamuser\Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 26\saved_games

I can get to some directories name users/steamuser/Documents but there is nothing beyond that folder.

I found it. I was looking in the wrong folder. There are so many.
I will list it here in a minute.

/home/demo/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/3116890/pfx/dosdevices/c:/users/steamuser/Documents/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 26/saved_games/MLB 2026 STEAMER v9.lg

No wonder I couldn’t find it.

You can also find them through the Steam client.

In the Library view, right-click on a game - Properties - Installed files - Browse…

That doesn’t take me to the same place the file path I listed is at.
