I feel like it's not Mac Library folder, because it doesn't have a specific icon. I can't open it, and honestly don't know what to do with it.

Original Title: How to hide this Library folder?

Any resolve here...?

I do see now— Home folder is an option in the iCloud ( I don't do iCloudDrive to say more.)

Try turning that off and see if that clears up all the extras including the Library that shows no access.

to hide the ~/Library folder from Finder go to your Home Folder in the sidebar, Command J opens the View options:

uncheck the box
