Question

Where is the windows terminal settings location?

I edited the settings file and there must have been a typo and now the app crashes on startup.

Online the documentation says the settings lives in $env:LocalAppData\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json

I can't figure out what that path means since it doesn't exist on the computer.

I re-installed the app to fix the problem then made sure to see what the actual path is.

It's located in : C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState

In the current version (1.7.1033.0), the application can open the JSON settings file for you via a button. Open the Settings tab, and the bottom left corner will have a button named "Open JSON file". Clicking that button will open a prompt asking with what application to open the file. That text editor can then tell you where the file is located.
