    they should be in your your mysql folder
    then go to data folder
    ie if you are using XAMPP
    go to xampp folder then mysql folder then data folder

      The exact location is stored in my.ini which exists under main mysql installation directory. In my.ini file, look for 'datadir'. This parameter points the data folder. You can change the path for data files to store databases to location of your choice.
