I had a bunch of files saved in Word in Windows 8.1 under users/default but I cannot find them now. If I open Word I can see some of them in the list but cannot find where they are. I am attaching a screenshot of one of the file. I would appreciate any help and thank you.
Install Everything Search. Let it start after install to build it's index, usually only takes a few seconds.
I n the input area, enter the file you are looking for or as much of it as you remember. For example: #21.doc
Everything will list every location where a file contains that string as part of the filename.doc
See if it finds it for you. I find this much, much better than the built in Windows search.

Wait ... was your question I cannot find the Default.migrated folder?
In File Explorer, change the view to include hidden items
on the View menu/ribbon - tick hidden items
If you still cannot see the folder, then it might be a system folder
Press the blue file menu on File Explorer
Select Folder options
press the view tab
put a tick in view system files .. answer yes to the dialog
Look in C:\Users\Default.migrated
