Lion, the /Library and ~/Library are hidden from the Finder
– to show these directories in the GUI, launch Terminal
from Applications/Utilities and run the command below
with sudo and enter your admin password when requested:

1
2 sudo chflags nohidden /Library/ ~/Library/
3
to hide again:

1
2 sudo chflags hidden /Library/ ~/Library/
3

sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps

WHERE title='APPNAME';" && killall Dock
To show all hidden files and folders, that start with a ‘.’ ,
back to Terminal in OSX 10.9 Mavericks:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -

boolean true ; killall Finder
1
2 defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true
3
Getting back to cleanliness:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -
