On the most recent versions of Notepad++, when the application is closed, unsaved files are maintained when the application is restarted.

I presume that those files are cached on a temporary files. What is the location of that file(s).

Thank you

I noticed it myself, and found the files inside the backup folder. You can check where it is using Menu:Settings -> Preferences -> Backup. Note : My NPP installation is portable, and on Windows, so YMMV.
