I have multiple Firefox profiles that i created with the profile manager, but i can't find where the profile manager stores the data for the created profiles because even if i delete all firefox files in user data location C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Mozilla and all firefox data in the registry if i launch the profile manager it still lists all created profiles.

So, where the data for created profiles is stored?

hello, this data is stored in subfolders of C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ - Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data

Note that the location in AppData\Local\ is used for the disk cache (see about:cache) and some other files like the new tab thumbnails and safe browsing data.
