ok i know this is going to sound retarded but i click on c: drive then then user then i just have a list :contacts,desktop,downloads,favorites....etc,etc.

i dont get where i find the appdata-roaming-bitcoin

ive seen this online when i was searching for help but this is where i am stuck.  sorry to sound so incompetent i just cant figure this out (possibly too frustrated)!!

can someone please explain this to a two yr old plz?! 

i keep getting blkindex.dat error when trying to open wallet. I understand that i need to erase all files but i just dont know how to "actually" get it done. 

Do what the other guy said.... easiest way... Goto My computer in the address bar type %appdata%


It will bring up the folder.

In Windows explorer click "organize" > folder and search options > View tab > check the "Show hidden files,folders  and drives radio button (while I'm there I usually uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types)
go to c:>users>(your user)>appdata (now unhidden) > roaming >bitcoin

That could be because the version of windows you are running doesn't have one, or perhaps because you are trying to use a file explorer that hides certain things, like this directory would be hidden.


Does this help?
