Look for EpicGames Launcher.exe at the bottom of the folder.

local / share / Steam / steamapps / compatibility data / /pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Epic Games/Launcher/Portal/Binaries/Win64 Start with the highest numbered folder and keep opening the “pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)” folders until you find the one containing Epic Games.
