No 'Finder' present on my ipad Mini 5. Help please

There is no Finder app/desktop in iOS/iPadOS.

Never has been.

iOS/iPadOS is NOT Mac/macOS.

iPadOS DOES NOT work like Mac/macOS.

If you are not familiar with iPads and iOS/iPadOS, here is a link install the iPad user's guide into your Apple Books app for review.

Also, Apple YouTube videos to help you also learn how your iPad and iPadOS works

Best of Luck to You!

There is no "Finder" on an iPad.

On a Mac there is.
