That folder doesn't exist in my file system. However, I searched "Kobo" in File Explorer and found where the epubs are stored:

I customized the Obok plugin to point it to that folder, but I still got the same error message saying it couldn't find my Kobo library.
I installed the Alpha releases of the DeDRM and Obok plugins, restarted Calibre and tried again. Same negative result. Even though I'm telling the plugin exactly where to look, it still doesn't believe I have Kobo desktop installed.
As an experiment, I imported epubs from that folder into Calibre using the "Add books" button, rather than the "Obok" button. It added them and successfully read their metadata, but when I tried to view the books their text was scrambled (presumably their DRM wasn't removed).
Again, this is all academic. I was able to successfully download the files from Kobo's website and remove their DRM. Nevertheless, it's aggravating my OCD that this alternative method isn't working when it should.
