Jan 12, 2020 It's not clear why Apple decided to hide the user's Library folder, but you have multiple ways to get it back: two Apple provides (depending on the version of OS X you are using) and one in the underlying file system. The method you use depends on whether you want permanent access to the Library folder or only when you need to go there. Mar 19, 2020 Large Log files in /Library/Group Containers I'm getting really large files with names very similar to: MicrosoftShipAssertLogONMC15599.txt in the Group Containers folder within my Library.

Files from a failed or removed installation take up disk space and can cause problems when you install or run a newer version of the Adobe application.
Delete files from a previous Adobe application installation
To delete files from a previous Adobe application installation, do the following:
- If the Adobe application folder exists, drag it to Trash. By default, the folders are located in the Applications folder on the hard disk.
- Drag the preferences folder to Trash from the Users/[User]/Library/Preferences folder. (For example, drag the Acrobat folder to Trash.)Note:The user Library folder is hidden by default in Mac OS X 10.7 and later releases. To access files in the hidden library folder, see How to access hidden user library files.
- Drag the application PLIST file, located in the Users/[User]/Library/Preferences folder, to Trash. Skip this step if the Adobe application doesn't include a PLIST file.
- If you don't have other Adobe applications installed on your computer, drag each of the Adobe folders to Trash from the following locations:
- Users/[User]/Library/Application Support
- Library/Application Support
- Empty Trash. If you receive an error message while trying to empty Trash, see the next section.
If you receive a message that items are locked and cannot be deleted, press Option and then empty Trash.
