To see hidden files on your computer, open Terminal and copy: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE && killall Finder
To hide the files again, copy the same command but replace TRUE with FALSE, in order to turn off the feature
The command is: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
Then, type: killall Finder
