4 Select Library from the Go menu (while holding down Option) to access the hidden folder.
Method 3:
1 Click anywhere on the desktop so Finder is the name of the foreground app shown at the upper left.
2 Press Command+Shift+H
3 With your home folder open, press Command+J. This the only place you'll see a check box to Show Library Folder. Turn it on.
4 From now on, your user account Library folder will be visible without having to use special keys or commands to get there.

Thank you BDAqua! That worked. I had to restart for the deleted conversation to show up. And thanks for the tip on making the Library folder permanently visible.
Great news, thanks & good luck. :)
