Where Does Chrome Store Extensions?

I looked in:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions

for unpacked extensions, but that folder is empty for me.

For newer versions, where does Chrome store the files?

Storage Location for Unpacked Extensions

Extension engine does not explicitly change their location or add a reference to its local paths, they are left in the place where there are selected from in all Operating Systems.

Ex: If I load a unpacked Extension from E:\Chrome Extension the unpacked Extension is still in the same location
