You won't find it if you did a disk cleanup and removed the system files.

By the way, if you are running Windows 10 Insider Preview build, you will NOT find install.esd file from
$WINDOWS.~BT folder.

It is because since December 2016, Microsoft had introduced Unified Update Platform (UUP), which no longer offers the install.esd file.
Yes, that means you cannot create an iso file the old fashioned way.
