I've rooted, installed TWRP, and made a backup. Now I want to copy the backup to my PC.

When I plug the device into my PC the TWRP folder does not show up in the device's storage or any subfolders.
I looked on the device itself using Root Explorer and ES File Exlorer, and I can't find it there either.
Ditto for TWRP's built in file manager.

Yet if I choose "Restore" I get the option to restore from my backups in a folder called TWRP\Backups\

The space is definitely being used up by the backups because the internal memory (16GB version) is nearly full.

Is there a way to get the TWRP folder to show up?

Yes i had too this problém. You must have something like Root Browser, that can access to /data folder. Go to /data/media/0 and you see twrp folder. I dont know why it cant be visible in /storage/emulated/0...

Confirming it worked for me too! Marking [SOLVED] (and hitting thanks, of course!)
