Revit 2015 Family Template File location

Anybody know where the family template files are located now?   I have no template folders or "Libraries" Folder in the following location C:\Program Data\Autodesk\RVT 2015\. 

I am not sure if I need to reinstall Revit or look in a different spot.

Thanks!

You have to go to panel of control,in programs&characteristics try to
uninstall autodesk revit content.Then will appear a Revit panel,go to add
components, check "US metric,Generic international content and your mother
language(for me is spanish)" and then press next.,It will take a while,
when the process is finish you should have your templates and metrics
families.

Its because some of files might not appear because these are hidden

If you're getting the dialog box but it appears that the content is actually installed, I found the following solution on two machines:

Hopefully that may help someone else.

 

Thanks!

I am trying to add an .RFA (family) in Revit 2017.  When I try and add a family or say a toilet or other plumbing fixture, I get the following error:

 

"The file Toilet-Domestic-3D.rfa was saved in a later version of Revit and cannot be retrieved in this version"

 

How do I downgrade my RFA content libraries to Revit 2017?
