How to Find the Netflix Download Folder on Windows 10

Netflix's Windows 10 app lets you download movies and TV shows for offline viewing, but it doesn't allow changing the download location or easy access to the files. If your drive is filling up, knowing the exact folder path helps you manage space effectively by moving files manually—then copying them back when needed.

Finding the Netflix Download Folder

1. Open File Explorer from the taskbar.
2. The Netflix folder is hidden. Go to the View tab and click the Options button on the far right.
3. In Folder Options, select the View tab, scroll to Advanced settings under Files and Folders, and check Show hidden files, folders, and drives if it's not already enabled.
4. 
5. Click OK.
6. Navigate to the Netflix downloads in File Explorer. The full path is:

   C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\4DF9E0F8.Netflix_mcm4njqhnhss8\LocalState\offlineInfo\downloads

   Replace [USERNAME] with your Windows username. Alternatively, paste C:\Users\, select your user folder, and append the rest of the path.

The folder will be empty until you download content via the Netflix app. Once downloaded, you'll see files here—the largest ones are your media files.

Files lack descriptive names, so identification is tricky. Renaming them prevents the Netflix app from recognizing them, and they won't play in other media players.
