Meadows has the folder. Or, more correctly, he had it.
He keeps saying that he did not mishandle classified info. I think Trump declassified the whole thing, specifically so Meadows could either destroy all copies outright, or destroy all but the one Trump sold to to Lavrov. Either way, he insures that nobody in the US will ever see it in its unredacted form.
I don’t think there’s paperwork of him declassifying it, bringing it up at this point probably wouldn’t help your case. Paperwork for that specific folder being declassified would prove that Meadows and Trump are traitors but their paperwork is in order? Meadows is working for Jack Smith now, so I’m going with the “who cares if there’s paperwork” side.
Of course there’s no paperwork, Trump believes he can unclassify things by merely stating it. But I think Meadows used that as cover to simply get rid of it.
In fact, it’s possible that the only reason he’s so chummy with Smith now is that he knows all the really bad, Rosenbergs-level stuff is irrevocably out of reach to Smith.

Or they have so much on him that he had to fold. Cassidy Hutchinson isn’t really holding back what her boss did.
