How do you find the location of a folder in CentOS?
To locate the folder, you can use the find command or the locate command.
- locate
find / -type d -name "folder_name"
In the given command, replace “folder_name” with the name of the folder you want to search for. This will recursively search for matching folders starting from the root directory and display their paths.
- find
locate folder_name
This will search the database of the quick search system to find matching folders and display their paths. Please note that the locate command may not return the most recent file system changes, so if you have recently created or moved folders, you may need to update the database.

Both the find command and the locate command can assist you in locating the position of folders.
