Where is the known_hosts file for OpenSSH for Windows?
One of the servers I frequently log into via SSH has changed it's IP address. So, now I'm getting man in the middle attack warnings when I try to use SSH via Windows Powershell and OpenSSH for Windows.
On a linux machine, I would just remove the offending line from ~/.ssh/known_hosts. But, the ~/.ssh directory seems to be empty.
Where is the known_hosts file for Powershell/OpenSSH? I've checked in C:Program FilesOpenSSHhomeanschauung.ssh, but that folder is empty as well.

Don't remove it. Update the line to change the IP address from the old one to the new one to avoid opening a window for an attacker to impersonate the host.

On windows it is usually stored in the %USERPROFILE%ssh or %USERPROFILE%.ssh folders. If you type %USERPROFILE% into the Windows explorer address bar it will be expanded automatically. You can also try cd /d "%USERPROFILE%ssh" or cd /d "%USERPROFILE%.ssh" from a command prompt.

Had a similar issue not fixed with the user profile's known_hosts, so for anyone looking: If you have installed git, TortoiseGit, etc on Windows, the location of the overriding known_hosts file is in your git folder, e.g. Programs/Git/.ssh or Programs (x86)/Git/.ssh.
As per the error message
Add correct host key in /.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /.ssh/known_hosts:1
open the known_hosts file in an editor like Sublime with admin rights, remove the corresponding entry for your server in Programs/Git/.ssh/known_hosts and the new key fingerprint will get added on the next connection.
