Windows 10: Edge Favorites

I don't usually use Edge, I like IE11; but I've had to dabble in Edge from time to time.

I was wondering, where are the Favorites saved? I looked up & found an article that instructed to go to: C:\Users\<ME>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Def ault\Favorites, but on my machine, this folder is empty; even though I do have a few sites saved in Edge.

IE is so much easier to find where the Favorites are stored: C:\Users\<ME>\Favorites.
