new Library folder in Documents after Big Sur recovery

Hello,

A new "Library" folder appeared after reinstalling Big Sur (as well as Microsoft 365 and Creative Cloud). This Library has restricted access limited to the system (i.e. I can't see what is in the folder). Given the size, it seems empty.

Does anyone know what it is?

Many thanks,

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

I'm setting up a new MacBook Pro-14 and have found that I can't search in the Library folder I'm setting up a new MBPro-14 and have found that I can't search in the Library folder. Presumably it's not being indexed by Spotlight. I've tried using Finder search (Cmd-F) instead of Spotlight bar and adding "System files" and "File visibility" but it didn't help. I've never had this problem before (a loooooong time). Is there a new checkbox somewhere? Any suggestions? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Change icon of Documents folder in macOS Monterey I use to personalize the appearance of my Mac by changing icons of folders - this works fine in Monterey, too, with the exception of the Documents folder. I just cannot change that folder icon by pasting it in cmd-I, like for all other folders. Most probably, this is a permissions issue, but I cannot find information about this. Can anyone please point me to a solution? I have seen that someone else had asked the same question for Big Sur, but never received an answer, unfortunately.
