Certbot running on Windows. After requesting a certificate, all the .pem files are empty

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: verbateams.recordia.mobi

I ran this command:certbot certonly --webroot

It produced this output:e[0m - Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:
C:\Certbot\live\verbateams.recordia.mobi-0001\fullchain.pem
Your key file has been saved at:
C:\Certbot\live\verbateams.recordia.mobi-0001\privkey.pem
Your cert will expire on 2021-04-11. To obtain a new or tweaked
version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot
again. To non-interactively renew all of your certificates, run
"certbot renew"

My web server is (include version): Tomcat

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):Windows Server 2019

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):Yes

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):1.10.1

Try viewing the folder with administrative rights.

Although the -0001 in the named path does make me wonder...

Thank you for your response.
I have logged in with the Administrator. Certbot has also been run with administrator privileges.

And.....

All the files in the live folders should be symlinks to files in the archive folder.

What do you see in the live folders?
dir C:\Certbot\live\verbateams.recordia.mobi-0001\*
dir C:\Certbot\live\verbateams.recordia.mobi\*
or
dir C:\Certbot\live\* /s

Thank you very much. Now I can see the origin of the files.

Regards,
