Missing the com.apple.idleassetsd folder

Iv'e just bought a brand new MacBook Pro M5 2025. and I can't seem to find the "com.apple.idleassetsd" folder with all the live screensavers in it?

Pathway: Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support

My computer is updated to macOS Tahoe 26.1

It should be in "application support" but it is missing. why is this?

They're in the following location, which you can paste into Finder > Go menu > Go to Folder:


/System/Library/Desktop Pictures/.wallpapers


Note the . at the beginning of the folder name, that denotes an invisible folder/file so if you are trying to navigate there in Finder, they you'll need to toggle on invisible file viewing with Command-Shift-. (period).
