Finding the location of your Netflix downloads is necessary to solve this puzzle. However, remember that Netflix doesn't give you the option to change the download location.
Also, the company doesn't allow you to browse to the place where your downloads are saved. If your drive is filling up fast, you can manually move the downloads to another location. When you want to watch them again, just copy them back to the original location. Just append the file path after that to get to the folder without drilling down into the hierarchy. The Netflix download folder will be empty if you have never downloaded any movies or shows with the Windows 10 Netflix app. However, once you download something you'll see a bunch of files here.
The largest will belong to the actual media file. Notice that there are no file names that will help you identify the movie or show. Rename the largest file and Netflix will no longer recognize them. Also, you cannot play them with any media player except the Netflix app. You can delete the files and reclaim some of the space on your hard drive. But that can be done from within the app as well.
Until Netflix adds a few more file management features, at least the location can help you manage your hard drive space when it starts to run out. Space becomes a more critical issue on phones.
