        They will be in the same location, they are just renamed and hidden. You can manually unhide the file(s) like so:
        Open Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
        paste in this command:

        defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
        press enter
        relaunch the finder
        locate your files
        Invisible adds a . to the beginning of your files,
        just remove the .

        then, undo the changes:

        Open Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
        paste in this command:
        defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
        press enter
        then relaunch the finder

          I had to erase my HD and reinstall Mac OS 11.5.2. I restored my HD from a backup but I when I log into Invisible, the folder I had content in is empty. I selected restore within Invisible. But I am not sure what that does. I can find that folder on my HD. Where is the content?

            The files are most likely still in the folder. You can show them with my free desktop utility app:

            https://sweetpproductions.com/products/desktoputility/DesktopUtility.dmg

            Click the show invisible files button.
            Once you find them, remove the . From the beginning of the file name.
            Remember to click the hide invisible files button (in FrsktopUtility) once you have renamed them.
