title: Locating data volumes in Docker Desktop (Windows)
body: <p>I'm trying to learn docker at the moment and I'm getting confused about where data volumes actually exist.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using <strong>Docker Desktop for Windows</strong>. (Windows 10)</p>
  
  <p>In the docs they say that running docker inspect on the object will give you the source:<a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/#locating-a-volume" rel="noreferrer">https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/#locating-a-volume</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>$ docker inspect web
  
  "Mounts": [
      {
          "Name": "fac362...80535",
          "Source": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/fac362...80535/_data",
          "Destination": "/webapp",
          "Driver": "local",
          "Mode": "",
          "RW": true,
          "Propagation": ""
      }
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>however I don't see this, I get the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ docker inspect blog_postgres-data
  [
      {
          "Driver": "local",
          "Labels": null,
          "Mountpoint": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/blog_postgres-data/_data",
          "Name": "blog_postgres-data",
          "Options": {},
          "Scope": "local"
      }
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me? I just want to know where my data volume actually exists is it on my host machine? If so how can i get the path to it?</p>
