Hi,
there are several topics in the documentation pointing to the location

All of them are refering to a location of these file to:
/var/lib/qubes/{appvms,vm-templates}/MY_VM/
Unfortunately, as of version 4.0 I cannot find these files there.
Where did they moved to?
The R4.0 default is to use thin-provisioned lvm for storage instead of
image files. You can think of these "logical volumes" as being like
partitions and they have device entries under /dev/mapper. To view and
manipulate them directly you'll need to use lvm commands like "lvs" and
"lvrename" etc. although its best to first try using the qvm-* commands
like "qvm-volume".
To be a bit more specific, a Qubes AppVM called "work" within this lvm
system will boot from an lvm volume named "vm-work-root-snap". This is
because Qubes takes a read-only snapshot of the template root when the
AppVM is started.
