Hi, thanks for helping me with this question!

I have just built a new pc with linux mint mate 18.3 operating system in it.

overall things have been going on fine with the pc, and i have been learning so many new things with linux since so far i had used just the windows

My question now is;

How do i find a list of all the files i am having in my SSD storage? (I just have SSD, there is no HDD)

I tried to do internet search but the answers i found out there is very complex, with lot of strange appearing coding etc, i am not even sure how can i even try them in Linux

Are there any simple ways to get a list of all the files i am having in my linux pc?

I will greatly appreciate helping me with this very big puzzles related to the linux operating system i am having now! Thank you guys so much!

On Linux, there's no Program Files, Drive Letters etc

@LinComp: If you want to see a list of all files, you can use something like this from shell prompt (don't type '$' character, and 'l' is lower-case L). Be prepared for tens of thousands of files and folders names!
Code: 
sudo ls -laR /
You can capture this into a text file with
Code: 
sudo ls -laR / >~/AllFileList.txt

Thank you so much Gdmaclew! I really appreciate it! After i used the codes given by you now the computer is finally taking my commands! While it now showing something but it is still not showing me a list of all the files that are present in my computer. I recently downloaded comondo antivirus, but i read many linux users telling antivirus not needed so i deleted it, but i do not know whether i really uninstalled it from my computer or just deleted its link, so how do i find out where is my antivirus is located in my computer?

Thanks so much!
