AppData is a Windows thing. The documentation is correct as far as I can see,
as Windows documents the Roaming folder as APPDATA, in opposition to
LOCAL_APPDATA, which is the one OP tried first.
See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/csidl for more
details.
I think you can open %APPDATA% in Windows explorer to get the correct location
if needed.
