  • Folders in standard macos install

    From Martin-S@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 16 13:51:32 2023
    I'm wondering whether there is a listing of all the folders created by
    a standard macos install.

    I seem to have amassed a lot of obscure and/or possibly redundant stuff
    over the years and would like to know what's part of the os.

    Create a new user, compare and contrast.

    Don't mess with anything outside the user folders and /Applications

    It's the things that _don't_ make the news due to
    being so common that you should worry about.
