where do archived emails go in gmail

I hit archive on a bunch of emails thinking it was like a folder. Now I can't find them anywhere in the sidebar. How do I get them back into my inbox?

On the phone app, swiping an email archives it by default, which is how most people archive stuff without meaning to. You can change the swipe to delete or mark as read in the app's settings under swipe actions.

All Mail. Archiving only removes the Inbox label, nothing moves anywhere. Search finds them as normal, and Move to Inbox puts one back.
