Similar question to this one about debian. I have non-customized installation and I wonder where the data is actually stored. It is not in /var/lib/elasticsearch/nodes/0/indices/{nameOfYourIndex}/(0-4}/index as indicated in the accepted answer to the linked question.

On your computer i.e. Mac OS X you can use the command:
brew info elasticsearch
# or
brew info elasticsearch[@version] i.e. brew info elasticsearch@5.6
and you see where data are.
Here are my directories:
==> Caveats
Data: /usr/local/var/lib/elasticsearch/
Logs: /usr/local/var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch_xxx.log
Plugins: /usr/local/var/elasticsearch/plugins/
Config: /usr/local/etc/elasticsearch/
On MacOS BigSur, 11.x and higer: /usr/local/etc/elasticsearch
See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/brew.html for a update version of folders.
