Windows – find the Application Data folder in Windows 7

windows 7

I'm using Windows 7 and want to back up some files and it read somewhere that they should be in a folder called "Application Data", but I have no idea where to find this folder!

I tried looking for C:\Users\Ivo\Application Data, but there's nothing there.

So where can I find this folder?
