I thought I had one that was like 6gigs but it dissapeared.... so they must have some pretty severe protection to keep the user from messing with anything.
Nonsense. In the Origin client, go to Origin -> Application Settings. In the settings, click "Advanced" You will see a line saying "Your games will be installed to the following location:"
Select the path in the box under that and copy it, and paste it in the address bar of your file explorer (winkey+E), and press enter, and you should see the folders of your installed games under it.
