Where do the files that normally get saved in bin\Debug get saved when the published application is run?

When run in Visual Studio 2017 debug mode, my C# WPF application saves output files to the bin\Debug folder.

I have now published my application via the Publish Wizard and can run it standalone from the Start menu. Where (if anywhere) are the output files being saved?

In my opinion, this is sort of an X Y problem. Instead of trying to locate the output files depending on publishing scheme, your program should try to be deterministic about where it places its output. Set up a path variable in your program and place the output there. See the answer to this question on how to do that: C# getting the path of %AppData%

It will usually save them in

C:\Users\You\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\
