why am i getting an error creating a folder when it already exists on my suitecloud deployment

&gt;*AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):*
The error you're encountering when trying to create a folder that already exists during your SuiteCloud deployment is likely due to the presence of hidden system files, such as `.DS_Store` on macOS. These files are automatically created by the operating system and are not visible in the standard file explorer or finder. 

When deploying to NetSuite, these hidden files can cause validation errors as they are not recognized as valid resources. NetSuite only allows resource files to be uploaded into specific folders like `/SuiteScripts/`, `/Templates/E-mail Templates/`, `/Templates/Marketing Templates/`, and `/Web Site Hosting Files/`.

To resolve this issue, you need to delete these hidden files. If you're using a Mac, you can do this by opening the terminal and running the following command:

```~ % find . -name ".DS_Store" -type f -delete -print```

This command will search for all `.DS_Store` files in the current directory and its subdirectories, and delete them.
