Can not find the cached files (through flutter_cache_manager) on device

Question

I am using this code to cache files on my local storage:

var audioFile = await DefaultCacheManager().getSingleFile('fileUrl');

I need to physically access the file to see if the user can access it from the file manager. When I run the app, the files are being cached. But I can not find the path where the files are cached on the device.

This is the address that I get on debug mode: "/data/user/0/{my_package_name}/cache/libCachedImageData/3a65ece0-5366-11eb-91e0-0f0ba53cd292.mp4"

But there is no such path on my device.

It is a path to a "hiden" folders on your device. You can navigate to this path with root privileges or get (and navigate) the data by tutorials like this. Also you can find this folders without any permissions on Android emulator from File Explorer tab in Android Studio.
