Hi :) Once you get to the "Roaming" folder it should be pretty easy to figure out. Most OpenSource programs will have their UserProfiles in there, just pick the one that is relevant = in this case the LibreOffice one. From then on there is only about 1 folder in each folder until you get to the right place. Regards from Tom :)
