All file and folders starting with a "." is hidden in Linux. Try using "ls -a" or simply "cd .config" despite not seeing it.

It will be created in the home folder of the user UMS is running as. That means, if you run it as root, look for it in the "/root" folder, otherwise look in the "/home/<username>" folder. It's also explicitly listed in the log during startup. Look for "profile folder".

The name of the files are:
medias.mv.db
medias.trace.db

Maybe try the find command from each user:
find -name medias*

EG:
satan ~ # cd /root
satan ~ # find -name medias*
./.config/UMS/database/medias.mv.db
./.config/UMS/database/medias.trace.db
