Files and backup
Find files and fix Finder
> Where are my files?
Your files are stored in Macintosh HD > Users > [Your name] in various folders: Movies, Music, Pictures, and so on. If you use iCloud Drive, your files and folders are in the Mobile Documents folder in your user account’s library; to locate it in Finder, follow the steps in “Where’s my Library folder?”
> Why can’t I empty the Bin?
This is usually because something in the Bin is still being used by an app (or because your Mac thinks it is, which can sometimes happen after an app crashes). Quit the app if you can and try again; if that doesn’t work, you’ll need to restart your Mac. Still no joy? Boot into Safe Mode (p20) and try once more.
> Where’s my Library folder?
It’s in Macintosh HD > Users > [Your name] > Library, although you can’t see it: Apple rightly assumes that most users don’t need to go there very often, if at all. But it's a couple of clicks from the Finder: in the menu bar click Go > Go To Folder, hold Shift and you’ll see Library appear.
