Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard use for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances. When you don't provide the Save location for your received bluetooth files they go to a Temp folder which is by default hidden in Windows 10. So people often find lot of difficulty and waste lot of time to find the location of their bluetooth received files.
In this tutorial you will learn step-by-step to how find your Bluetooth files in Windows 10.
- When you receive files via Bluetooth, it ask you to give Save location. By default Windows 10 save files in the hidden folder. This is the location C:\Users\"Main User Name"\AppData\Local\Temp. AppData is a hidden folder.
Follow these steps to find the path:
- Click C: Drive.
- Click Users.
- Click the Main User. In most cases it will be your Windows Admin name. Here my main user is MEER BASIT
- Click View.
- Tick Hidden Items.
- Click AppData.
- Click Local.
- Click Temp.
- Now Temp is your final folder where your Bluetooth files are located.
- Scroll down to find your Bluetooth received files in the Temp folder because there must be lot of other extra files.
- That's it. You are done.

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
Deletethere is no folder 'app data' where you indicated.
ReplyDeleteAppData is a hidden folder. I have shown how to show hidden folders. Please try again you must be missing something.
DeleteThere is no folder named Bluetooth received files
ReplyDeleteYou have misunderstood dear. "Bluetooth received files" is not a folder name. "Bluetooth received files" are the files that you will receive via bluetooth. "Temp" is the folder where you have to find your bluetooth received files.
Deletenone of my files are in this location. i transferred 20+ photos i cannot find by file name either both phone and computer say the transfer was successful / any other thoughts?
DeleteHave you enable "Hidden items"? Check "Documents" folder as well.
DeleteThis was wrong in my case by default my files were sent to the document folder.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is possible. Your default location may have been set Document folder by Windows.
Deletethis is really helpful. thankss
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
Deletethat was just awesome i swear May Allah give u reward for this help.
ReplyDeleteAmeen & Thanks :)
DeleteThank you! And how can I change the default folder to a less crazy option lol?
ReplyDeleteThe files are there but the folder isn't necessarily named "Blue tooth" or "Temp". Change your folder settings to "View Large" and you will see which folder they are contained in if you are using windows 10.
ReplyDeletei have not got it any where
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. This is really helpful.
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome.

ReplyDeleteThen your bluetooth files must be located somewhere else.

ReplyDeleteHave you scrolled and checked the Temp folder completely?
DeleteTemp mei jo file show ho rhi hain wo tw open ni ho ri meri ,,what i should do
ReplyDeleteAre those files are your files that you received via Bluetooth? If not then don't open them, they are extra files. Look for your files only.
ReplyDeleteWorked perfectly for me. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome.
DeleteHi Meer, I am unable to find the videos I transferred via Bluetooth from my phone. I can no longer find the videos on my phone neither on the laptop. I followed this, C:\Users\"Main User Name"\AppData\Local\Temp, I don't have this, instead I have C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp, but the folder is empty. When I transferred the files, I was able to watch the video I am referring to. Did I missed something? What do I need to do? I really the need that video. Hope you can help.
ReplyDelete1.) Have you turned on "Hidden items"?
Delete2.) In some Windows versions the location for Bluetooth folder is different from "AppData". The files could be found in My Document, Downloads, Desktop, etc.
3) If you know the name of your file you can search it directly from the Windows search bar like "myvideo.mp4". If you don't know the name of your video, search with its extension like ".mp4". Don't forget to enable "Hidden items".
4) What is the name of your Windows Account Name(Local Account Administrator Name) through which you login to Windows? If you have named it "FrancisM" it should be listed in the "Users" folder in the C:/ Directory. Your path will be "C:\Users\FrancisM\AppData\Local\Temp.
I did 1,2,3 and the 4, I don't have this user name, just User after Users. If I was able to watch the video right after, it should be on my laptop somewhere right? I tried searching in Recycle Bin for the video thinking that it has been deleted yet, can't find it.
DeleteIf you have sent, it should be somewhere in your laptop. Search all the folders inside Users directory i.e Administrator, Default User, Default account, User, etc. If you don't find your files by any mean you can recover your videos on mobile by a recovery software. When you send files via bluetooth again make sure to give desktop path so that you can easily find them.
DeleteI send a PDF file but I don't find in temp folder I found other files but my Bluetooth files are not here
ReplyDeleteSearch your C:/ drive with name and extension like "File_Name.pdf". If you don't remember the name simply search with ".pdf" extension. Don't forget to enable Hidden Files.
