What you need: A Mac. You will create the empty folder used in this exercise.
Before you begin: This exercise creates an empty folder, deletes it, then immediately brings it back using Undo.
- Click Finder (the blue smiling face) in the Dock, the row of app icons along the edge of the screen.
- In the menu bar at the top of the screen, click Go, then Downloads.
- Click File at the top of the screen, then New Folder. A new empty folder appears with its name highlighted.
- Press the Return key to keep the name the Mac supplied. Remember that name, including any number at the end.
- With the new folder still selected, click File, then Move to Trash. If a message says it will be deleted immediately or permanently, click Cancel and stop.
- Wait for the folder to disappear from Downloads.
- Without making any other file changes, click Edit at the top of the screen, then click the first menu item, which begins with Undo.
- Find your folder again in the Downloads window.
Expected result: The empty practice folder is back in Downloads.
