"Adobe Flash Player's Local Shared Objects/Flash cookies location

Also commonly known as ""Flash cookies"",
they can be found on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 in the following directory:

%APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects

You can also access the Flash Settings Manager to manage the flash cookies with a UI.

About %APPDATA%

It is a common folder variable which translates to configured system paths and makes it easier for you to find locations with alternate paths and/or drive letter configurations.

Usually on Windows Vista and Windows 7 it translates to:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\

and on Windows XP usually translates to:

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\"

"From here, it looks like a cookie would be located at %APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\<random code>\<domain>\<path>\<object name>.sol, so I would look in

%APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects

and go from there."
