Yeah, it's in a lot of places and some files override others depending on the load order (which I'm not sure of).
You can make adjustments to particular settings within Cura and then select the "current profile". A dropdown list will appear. At the bottom is an option "Update Profile with Current Settings/Overrides". That will make changes to the defaults. I think that's the easiest way to do it but if you have a lot of profiles it can take a bit of time.
I'm on Windows and with my own "Trailers PLA 75" profile active then doing the above will make changes to a file in:
"C:\Users\Home\AppData\Roaming\cura\5.0\quality_changes"
and in my case the file is named:
"creality_base_extruder_0_%2315_trailers_pla_75.inst.cfg"
Under [Values] there will be lines (or you will add lines):
retraction_amount = 5.5
retraction_combing_max_distance = 5
retraction_extra_prime_amount = 0
retraction_extrusion_window = 5.0
You can make changes there and when you use that profile they will be the defaults until you make changes and then save them to the profile.
The actual printer definition file that Cura uses is in "C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 5.0.0\share\cura\resources\definitions" and that is the main file where you would add your overrides. But I think that one loads before the "Settings Profile".

You would need to add overrides to your definition file. The settings are:
{retraction_amount}
{retraction_extrusion_window}
If you open the Ender 3 Pro definition file in Notepad you can check the overrides section and add your own.

Thanks that's great. My definition folder is empty - I have files in definition_changes is that what you mean? But in here are loads of settings files - it's not obvious which one to edit? And how do I add these configuration lines exactly?
Thanks!
