I am trying to setup a MacBook Air I bought from work, and I noticed that my home folder

/Users/alex

is not shown in "Finder":

What the heck is going on? Why is my hole folder not shown in "Finder", and how to fix this bug?

  • What are the permissions of /Users ? Check with ls -ld /Users. Commented Dec 13, 2022 at 12:19
  • You don't have "Shared", either. Probably best to erase the volume and reinstall the OS, to make sure there's no work-configured stuff remaining. Commented Dec 13, 2022 at 12:23
  • drwxr-xr-x root admin Commented Dec 13, 2022 at 12:23
  • I probably removed "shared" already (and other crap) Commented Dec 13, 2022 at 12:23
  • Don't do that. It has important uses. Also Applications and Library are both Zero Bytes? Commented Dec 13, 2022 at 12:24

Something seems very wrong with this installation. You claim your company's IT department installed it today -- I would suggest that they've done something very strange.

I strongly recommend erasing and reinstalling the OS. Apple Support pages for erasing and reinstalling the OS are here:
