Pull request overview

This PR updates the FAQ about file access locations to remove references to the deprecated Supervised installation method and adds a link to comprehensive file access documentation. The changes modernize the content by using the proper term reference for "Home Assistant Operating System" and directing users to detailed instructions rather than providing incomplete path information.

Key changes

  • Replaces "Home Assistant OS" with the proper glossary term reference for "Home Assistant Operating System"
  • Removes outdated information about Supervised installation file paths
  • Adds a link to the comprehensive file access documentation

Comment on lines +6 to +9
On a {% term "Home Assistant Operating System" %} installation, your files are on the data partition within `/mnt/data/supervisor/`.
On the SD itself, this is an EXT4 partition labeled `hassos-data`.

On a Supervised install, they are in `/usr/share/hassio/`. No newline at end of file
For information on file access, refer to the section on [configuring access to files](/common-tasks/os/#configuring-access-to-files). No newline at end of file

[nitpick] The FAQ still provides low-level path information (/mnt/data/supervisor/) that most users should not need to access directly. The linked documentation already covers this information in a more comprehensive way. Consider simplifying this FAQ to focus on directing users to the proper documentation rather than providing specific partition details that may confuse non-technical users. For example: 'For information on how to access your files on Home Assistant Operating System, refer to configuring access to files.'
