Q&A for How to Access Your .Minecraft Folder on the Computer

You cannot. If you are trying to install mods or texture packs, you have to go through the Minecraft application or the store.

If you are on Windows, hold the Windows key and press R. This should open a little pop-up. Then type: %appdata%. In here, it should open your apps, and you should be able to find your .minecraft folder.

Unfortunately, there is no .minecraft folder for the Pocket Edition version of Minecraft.

On a Mac, the folder is located under Users/[your user]/Library/Application Support/minecraft. You can navigate there manually, or press shift + cmd + G to get there with a path.

You can find the resource pack folder and the texture assets by following the steps in the article and clicking on the folder titled "resourcepack". There you can place resource packs you want in the game. If you want to see the game's texture assets, you click on the resource pack folder, click on the folder labeled "assets" then on the folder labeled "minecraft". There you can find the json files for them.

There is no .minecraft folder on mobile, so no, it does not. This only works on computers.

Maybe you made a typo in the name while typing or you're in the wrong folder. Try again and type with great care.

To access your forge folder, click your desktop or open finder and hold down Command+Shift+G at the same time. Then paste ~/library/Application Support/minecraft and hit enter. Then, check the versions folder as well as the mods folder (look for "fml") for the Forge files.
