For example, deleting the hidden cache or preferences file or folder for an app or macOS feature or service can fix faults by resetting things. On the other hand, if there is a problem with macOS or an app, it can sometimes be useful to edit or delete hidden files. They might even prevent apps or macOS features from working. You do not normally need to access them and if they are deleted or changed, they can affect how macOS or apps work. Some of them are data files, settings files, configuration files, caches, and so on.
They consist of files that macOS and apps don’t want you to see or access.
You may not realize it, but there are already hundreds and possibly thousands of hidden files and folders on the Apple Mac’s disk. It is possible to hide and show files on the Apple Mac with a keyboard shortcut, but Funter is a free utility that is easier and more useful than the built-in macOS feature.
