Cant locate my Safari folder in my Library App

I can't locate my Safari folder in my Library app. When i search for the Safari folder using my search in Finder nothing shows up either. Also Searching ~/Library/Safari in Finder comes up empty handed as well. I'm trying to locate some missing data that would likely have been saved in that Safari folder. Is it unusual for it to be missing from the Library folder?

Hey Marco thank you for your reply. I was able to eventually find it by pressing Options, then Go( menu) and Library from there. That Library folder held my Safari folder in it. I guess what confused me is the Library folder I found by clicking Macintosh HD in Finder, did not contain my Safari folder. So I assume that is a different Library folder and not the home Library folder that I needed.


Unfortunately, I am not using Time Machine or ICloud and the info I needed was not in that folder as I had hoped and was most likely deleted when I cleared my Mac history and not backed up anywhere, so I think it’s lost forever. 🤷‍♂️
