To locate the database path in XAMPP, you need to navigate to the XAMPP installation directory on your computer. Once there, look for a folder named "mysql" or "MariaDB" depending on the version you are using. Inside this folder, you will find a subfolder named "data" which contains all the databases created within XAMPP. This is where the database path is located. You can access this path to manage, backup, or restore your databases in XAMPP.
