I'm new to the Ubuntu world and I need some help. (Windows 10, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, x64 system type) I created a directory called "Submarine" using this :
mkdir Submarine
I want the directory "Submarine" to be located in "Documents" (as circled in red on
But the directory has been located in a whole other place
By the way, if I type :
cd Documents/
The terminal says that there's no such file or directory
What should I do to create files and directories in the place I want ?

You have Windows Subsystem for Linux which runs Ubuntu, different from a dual-boot installation where you are running either the Windows OS or the Ubuntu OS. WSL stores anything you make into a directory somewhere under your User directory. That's why your directory placed under c:\Utilisateurs\Elève\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu18.04onWindows...
Your Documents folder of Windows actually is c:\Utilisateurs\Elève\Documents .
Specifics on using WSL and creating files and directories are shown in
