Hide/Unhide Library Folder

Hey,

I'm using macOS Mojave V10.14.6 and I accidentally managed to unhide the Library folder using the "Terminal" page. and finding it in the GO Tab.

and I don't to how to undo this action, and make this folder hidden again.

I really need help as it's not safe for this folder to be easily accessible by any one using my MacBook.

Thanks.

Just use False instead of True. :)


Show hidden files in OSX Finder


Open the Terminal and type or copy/paste:


defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true


Reverting to the default of NOT showing hidden files:


defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false


*Restart or Force Quit Finder required to take effect.*
