Did you specify the datadir parameter (eg, geth --datadir "your directory" account new) where you are storing the chaindata? If you didn't specify a datadir parameter so it's probably in the default geth location. The datadir parameter is different to the ipcpath parameter. Or you could run a search on your computer for directory names "chaindata" or "keystore" .
