no /System/Library/Caches folder?

When you click on finder > Go > Go to folder and type /System/Library/Caches and again click on enter key the caches folder is by default , if it is lost you can create a new folder , right click on the column and click on folder action set up .

This method is used in Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6

Press command - shift - N on the keyboard an empty untitled folder is created it will prompt to enter admin password , type Caches in the empty field , click on enter key on the keyboard to reestablish the folder alphabetically at right position .

Note : if you have deleted caches folder or it get deleted due to some software installed ( avoid using these cleaners ) , restart the Mac and open safari and browse the Caches folder will automatically create .

Not normal. It should be there. If you run this from the Terminal do you get the enabled result?

csrutil status

System Integrity Protection status: enabled.

Something, probably some third-party so-called "Mac Cleaner" product has removed this particular Cache folder location, and the reason why we leave the above protection enabled is to block third-party applications from changing the System folder.

Here is all of what I had intended to post. Steps to replace the Caches folder below.

The remedy is to boot into Recovery ( ⌘-R ), and run the Terminal from Utilities. On the Terminal command-line:

# csrutil disable
# cd /System/Library
# mkdir Caches
# chown root:wheel ./Caches
# chmod 755 ./Caches
# csrutil enable
# exit



I have listed the steps in the proper order to replace the Caches folder in the /System/Library location with the proper ownership and permissions. I have not had to do this myself, so it isn't clear if one can just carry on as I have shown after disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP), performing the steps, and then re-enabling SIP.

If not, then you can reboot again into Recovery, make the changes following csrutil disable, and finish with csrutil enable before exiting Terminal and rebooting normally.

Ordinarily, I test before I post, and this was one of those epic failures where I neither tested, nor bothered to check about the rebooting to change the SIP status. The steps between the csrutil lines would be done from the Terminal while in a normal boot and would need to be prefaced with sudo to effect the changes from your user account.

You are welcome.
