Can't find mysql data in install directory

I was looking for my mysql data on my harddrive, so i went to the install directory (C:\ProgrammData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\data) but there are only a few of the databases displayed I actually use. Hidden folders are enabled so far...
Is there any other directory I should check?
I'm running Windows 7 x64...

open your my.ini and search for "datadir" example : 

datadir="C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5/Data/"

May be your config have somewhere else to look..

In case if you dont know where your my.ini was loaded, you can 

1. windows+run
2. type services.msc enter
3. search for mysql services..
4. right click -> properties
5. see "Path to executable" (should be there for your my.ini)
