If you run the Windows MSI installer (at least for 5.5.x), the default location for data files is:

C:\ProgramData\Elastic\Elasticsearch\data

The config and logs directories are siblings of data.

Elastic search is storing data under the folder 'Data' as mentioned above answers. Is there any other elastic search instance available on your local network? If yes, please check the cluster name. If you use same cluster name in the same network it will share data.
