    Hi Aiden, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.

    Do you mean the Windows Camera app? If so, here's how you can find its location.

    • Run the Camera app
    • Open the Task Manager
    • Expand the Camera process
    • Right-click on the Camera app > Go to details
    • You should find the WindowsCamera.exe highlighted
    • Right-click on it then 'Open file location'

    You would be able to open the folder where it is located. However, this folder is within the WindowsApps which is a heavily protected folder and not easily accessible.
