You may not realize it, but there are already hundreds and possibly thousands of hidden files and folders on the Apple Mac’s disk. They consist of files that macOS and apps don’t want you to see or access. Some of them are data files, settings files, configuration files, caches, and so on. You do not normally need to access them and if they are deleted or changed, they can affect how macOS or apps work. They might even prevent apps or macOS features from working. On the other hand, if there is a problem with macOS or an app, it can sometimes be useful to edit or delete hidden files.
For example, deleting the hidden cache or preferences file or folder for an app or macOS feature or service can fix faults by resetting things. The best-known hidden folder on the Apple Mac is the Library folder and it contains settings, preferences, caches, startup and login items, and much more for apps and the Mac’s operating system. You might even have accessed it on occasions. Open your home folder and the Library folder is there, but it cannot be seen because macOS has hidden it. The way to access it is to click the Go menu in Finder, hold down the Option key and then click Library. It opens in Finder like a regular folder.
