4. Quit Seashore and open the image on the desktop.

5. Open image and press "⌘ + A" then copy it.

6. Tap the folder you wish to make invisible and make the name 1 space

7. Tap the folder and press Press "⌘ + I"

8. On the below window click the icon and paste.



Method 2

1. Open Terminal and type the following command "chflags hidden"

2. Before running it, get the path of the folder for example, /Users/username/Desktop/filename

4. To unhide the folder just change hidden to nohidden
