Using BBEdit's menu BBEdit > Folders > Document Backups opens ~Library/Containers/BBEdit/Data/Documents/BBEdit Backups. In Finder, folder ~/Documents contains what appears to be a folder named "BBEdit", within which is what appears to be another folder named "BBEdit Backups."
I have two questions. First, can ~/Documents/BBEdit be removed, or at least hidden. The reason I don't simply move it to the Trash leads to the second question, which is... ... just what is this mysterious entity that looks like ~/Documents/BBEdit? When I use ls -lA ~/Documents, no such item appears. A file entitled .localized exists, but I do not believe this is related. Finder's Get Info on ~/Documents/BBEdit reports that it is a zero byte file and its location is ~/Library/Containers/BBEdit/Data/Documents. I am very curious. It appears to be something akin to a hard link or symbolic link, but not exactly. The User Guide cautions against messing with this mysterious entity (humor intended.) I appreciate in advance anyone who can answer the first question and shed some light on the second.
