Recently I installed Ubuntu and Wine.
I can't see all folders in Ubuntu and tried to navigate to
/home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/All Users/Application Data/I couldn't find the /home/username/ folder. At the time of installation, I think I encrypted it.
Is there a way to get out of this? Only the public folder is visible under /home.

In Ubuntu (and other linuxes), your 'home' folder (generally know as $HOME) exists at the path /home/<your-username>/, and will, by default, contain a collection of folders, including one called Public.
If you open the file manager at $HOME, then it will open in this folder.
Once there, if you press Ctrl+L, you should find that the full location that you're currently viewing is shown in the location bar.
From a terminal, you can also enter echo $HOME to find out the path.
It's also worth noting that on Linux, files/folders that start with a '.' are considered hidden, and so the .wine folder won't appear in the file manager's listing unless you show hidden files.
You can do this by pressing Ctrl+H, or from the View menu > Show Hidden Files.
You'll find the Windows C:\ structure at /mnt/c/ in the Bash environment.
Therefore, my Documents folder is at /mnt/c/Users/Ben/Documents/.
or Alternatively, for updated versions of windows, Hold down Shift while right-clicking in your desired Windows directory Select "Open Linux shell here"
