Has anyone come up with a solution for the Finder folders disappearing? Mine just disappeared today and I can't fine the com.apple.finder.plist file.

I am on Venture 13.6.3, and I checked Time Machine and my favorites saved on not in any of my historical version of Finder.

Hello, wrong Library folder, it in the User's ~/Library folder.

~ tilde indicates your user library folder

Apple hid the Users' Library folders...

Method 1:

From the Finder, select the Go menu at top of the screen, and choose Go to Folder.
In the window that opens, enter ~/Library, and click Go.

Or…

Method 2:

Go to the Finder (or desktop).
Hold the Option key on your keyboard, and click the Go menu at the top of the screen.
With the Go menu open, you'll notice that pressing and releasing Option will display or hide the Library choice in this menu.

4 Select Library from the Go menu (while holding down Option) to access the hidden folder.

But how full is your Hard Drive?

I think I found it by typing this into the method one you noted above.

So it became this process:

From the Finder, select the Go menu at top of the screen, and choose Go to Folder.
In the window that opens, enter ~/Library, and click Go.
Paste in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Eeleted the file.
Relaunched your Finder from the >Force Quit>Finder>Relaunch

But this was my result. None of my save folders are there.
