pubring.gpg is also gone. It has been replaced with pubring.kbx in modern
GnuPG. And what used to be stored in secring.gpg (i.e. you secret keys) can
now be found in the folder private-keys-v1.d.

Those files are not anymore used (see the otehr replies). However to
figure out GnuPG's home directory you use the command

gpgconf --list-dirs homedir

or leave out "homedir" and it lists all important file system locations.
This command works on all platforms. "gpg --version" also prints the
home directory right before the list of supported algorithms.


Salam-Shalom,
