It's a pretty simple problem, I just can't find the Lxss folder in LocalAppData which is suppose to store files from the Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.
I only see one of two possibilities for why this is. Either Windows moved the Lxss folder in an update for Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, or it is an error specific to my system that has caused Windows not to create the Lxss folder. I don't think this is the possibility though because it is a fresh install of windows.
