By default all the system files and folders are hidden for Apple macOS. If you want to see the files and folders which are hidden, you need to use certain Terminal commands.
Follow these simple steps to get started,
- Go to Spotlight search and open Terminal
- Paste the command : defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean TRUE
- The prompt returns without error, then enter : killall Finder
Now if you open Finder, you will be able to see the hidden folders and files.
