If you have access to your site than put this echo get_template_directory(); in your theme's functions.php file.

After adding that line, Navigate to your site and there top of your site you can see full directory path of your theme.

Now you can locate you WordPress site directory by replacing wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME_NAME.

when you know directory path, remove this line so other can not see for security.

This might help you little bit.

Depending on the hosting company you use for your website, it could be in many locations e.g. httpdocs, httpdocs, siteapps, public_html, or www, or maybe even something else.

You should contact your hosting company to find out where wordpress is installed from the control panel.
