In this guide, we'll learn how to create a new folder in Finder. First, navigate to the desktop, right-click, and select "New Folder." This action will generate a new folder. Next, place it in a suitable location on the side to maintain organization. Let's name it "My New Guide" to keep things tidy. To rename it, perform a double-click, not a double-click in quick succession, or alternatively, right-click, select "Rename," and input the desired name. Press Enter to confirm. Let's get started.

Hello everyone! In the following guide, we will explain how to create a new folder in Mac OS. First, we go to the desktop, right-click, select "New Folder," and a new folder is created. Now, we place it in a nice spot on the side so it doesn't clutter the center because we have OCD here. We rename it to "My New Guide" and to finish, press Enter. Oh, sorry, I didn't explain how to change the name, so let me go back a bit. To change the name, we double-click, not in succession, or you can also right-click, click Rename, and once done, press Enter. That's all for now. Thank you very much, goodbye, and stop.
