Add-ons and their data are two separate entities. Their data storage location is in the "userdata/addon_data" folder as already specified in Hitchner's reply, while the addons themselves are stored in the "<kodi profile folder>/addons" location.

In Windows Explorer, go to %appdata%\kodi\addons and you should find sub-folders for each of your addons.
It's the shorthand equivalent of C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons

The userdata (wiki) folder is at %appdata%\kodi\userdata, and the actual config data for each addon is in the addon_data sub-folder from there (again in individual folders per addon).

This is for a "normal" installation. If you installed via the Windows Store, the location is a bit different (it is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p\LocalCache\Roaming\Kodi\ and sub-folders from that root).
