I still don't understand how Bitcoin Core stores blockchain data. I mean I look at my computer and I've got these different folders, but I don't understand how Bitcoin Core builds the database of blocks and transactions. My understanding stops somewhere around there is a UTXO set and that's different than the blockchain dataset.
