Applications gone missing from Finder

Opened my Mac out of sleep and the Applications view in finder have gone completely missing.


They are still checked in the Preferences, so where did they go??


I have a Macbook Pro 2020 running on Big Sur 11.6

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

What to Do:

You must have clicked "Favorites" and minimized it (unknowingly). So, click on the ">" symbol when hovering over Favorites, and they should pop right up.
