Chocolatey keeps everything under a chocolatey folder in ProgramData: installed packages in lib, shims in bin, settings in config, logs in logs.
ProgramData is hidden by default. Paste the path into the File Explorer address bar rather than browsing for it.

Where are installed Chocolatey packages?
Each package gets a subfolder under lib with its nupkg and install files. The bin folder holds generated shims. Uninstall via choco uninstall rather than deleting folders.
