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.

It cannot be removed while BBEdit is configured to preserve historical backups.

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?

It is an OS fabrication, much as BBEdit's sandbox container appears to be named "BBEdit" while actually being "com.barebones.bbedit".

The User Guide cautions against messing with this mysterious entity (humor intended.)

Please heed the manual. :-)
