It bears repeating: the folder on Windows in which the gcm files live (c:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash) is hidden by default. 

File Explorer won't show it, and won't return it as a search result. 

The About dialog since at least 4.13 (the version I'm running) includes links directly to this location, however, and you can type %APPDATA% in the File Explorer address bar to go there directly.
