Can't make a new Jekyll project

I am using Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.

I can create projects but for some reason they end up being creating in a directory that I don't even have access to. I am quite new to terminals. Does anybody know how to fix this (i.e. how to create a project in a directory that I actually have on my computer)?

Where is /home/[username]/test123 supposed to be on Windows?

As you can see in the screenshot, the new project has been installed in /home/[my username]/test123. That directory doesn't exist on my computer.

Edit: Can I get some help instead of being mercilessly downvoted?

Posting a solution from a query in Jekyll's own forum:

Apparently, the root directory for "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" is C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Lxss\rootfs (More Info).

The project file you create can be found in the path mentioned above.
