you can easily archive the same with command line.
let´s say you want to create a “hidden folder” on your desktop
01) open terminal > use spotlight or go to the Utilities Folder which is within the Applications folder.
—–type the following command in terminal.
02) cd Desktop
—–let´s say you want to name your folder “test”
03) mkdir .test
—–as you can see your folder has a dot (.) in front of it, which is the indicator that it is a hidden file…also called a dot file.
—–now to open your folder type into terminal
04) open .test
—–now you can put all that stuff you don´t want other to see into your new hidden folder.
—–to delete your hidden folder type the following command
rm -r .test
—–make sure you set the right permission by hand “get info” if terminal requires permission. (in this simple example terminal won´t bother you with permissions)
