are local notebooks stored in Evernote database folder ?   This is the only backup I  made before reinstalling Windows 10.  I've followed the restore instructions https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313528-How-to-back-up-and-restore-your-data-in-Evernote-for-Windows   but my local notebooks do not show up

Local Notebooks are not stored separately, they are just entries in the general Evernote database.
By definition, Evernote ignores local notebooks.  They are not sync'd to the servers, and are not backed up.
Users are responsible for backing up and restoring local notebooks.  This can be done via a full database backup and/or using the export/import feature.

Do you have a backup to use for the restore?

You can recover those local notebooks if you have a backup of your EXB file prior to the restore.  Instructions are here.  

In the future you should make ENEX backups of all your local notebooks prior to a refresh of the data base.  Not to mention doing it periodically, just in case.
