I saved a Sticky Note before closing it, in the default save location which seems to be MacIntoshHD/User. Now I can't find it, although I haven't deleted it. I don't remember the filename I used, but I know from other sources that it should be an RTF file. Any idea where it is?

Assuming that you're talking about the native Stickies app that's part of macOS, all notes are saved in the StickiesDatabase file. This file is located within the user's Library folder, usually located in
Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library
.If you can't see the
Library
folder, then follow these steps:NOTE: If your username is not visible in the Sidebar, then go to Finder > Preferences, select the Sidebar tab and then select the checkbox next to your username at the bottom of the Favourites list.
Finally, if by "saved a Sticky Note* you mean you exported it, then by default it'd be saved in your user's home folder unless you navigated to another location when you saved it. In this case, do a search using either Spotlight or Finder's commandF option for the filename you saved it as.
Alternatively, if you don't recall the filename, you can search by the date (or date range) you last saved/opened/modified the file, the contents of the file (assuming you remember some of it), and even by the kind of file (by default Stickies will save as a plain text file).
