If you mean you can't find the *files* which are used/created by the
Notepad app, then it's probably that these files are kept in app-private
storage.
App-private storage is normally not visible/accessible, but should be
visible/accessible when the phone is (MTP) connected via USB to a
Windows system.
However app-private storage is not in the 'normal' folders, but in
\Android\data\, or \Android\obb\ or
\Android\media\, where is the app's 'id=...' name as
listed in the app's entry on Google Play. For example the of
the Google Maps app is 'com.google.android.apps.maps' as shown
on
So for Google Maps the relevant (top-level) folder is
Internal storage\Android\data\com.google.android.apps.maps
There are apps which can show the for installed apps, i.e.
for your Notepad app, but normally, Android does not show that info.
If you can not find the or can not find the needed files in
the \Android\... folders, you can check if the Notepad app can save,
share, export the needed 'useful stuff' to 'normal' folders which you
*can* access. Compare it to your e-mail client (Betterbird): Its
'profile' folder is mostly useless gobbledegook, but you can save/export
the messages to normal files.
I hope this helps.
