Wherer does Quartus put files?

I seem to be playing whack-a-mole With Quartus. I make a change and when I compile, Quartus will undo my change and find the error. I even did a search on the folder and found another .vhd file...

When you make a project, you specify a working directory. You can find that directory path along the top of your Quartus window. Your verilog or vhdl files will be in there. Files produced by Quartus will be in a folder within that directory called "output_files"

That is not exactly right. your hdl design can be anywhere and you point to it in project settings (add files) or in command line. I noticed if you work with tcl commands quartus appends paths in qsf but keeps old ones and so may point to old files.
