Hidden folders appear on Macintosh HD

I assume these folders are usually hidden folders that are not shown or seen by the average user. I see the following folders: cores, mnt, opt, sw and Volumes.

Yes, same here.. maybe the Preview saved with these Folder visible..


No Problem you can hide these Folders.. use Terminal.app

sudo (if you want to do this as Administrator)

type "chflags hidden" (drag and drop the desired Folder here opt, mnt, sw...), without the qoutes, press Enter

if you use the sudo-command you have to type in your password.


in Finder you see disappeard the dropped Folder.


to make it visible, use nohidden instead of hidden.

Hi, if this was useful for you, it would be nice to get a feedback here,...
