Unknown folder created in the main-folder

Other than the files indicated in the video that are created inside the CSS folder, my console has created a .sass-cache folder as well, does this means that I have done something wrong? Thank you

No, that's perfectly normal. Sass caches files by default, and the .sass-cache folder is used for that purpose. The reason why it does not show up in the video is that it is technically a hidden folder. On Unix-like operating systems like Mac OS and Linux, files and folders starting with a dot are hidden by default. Windows however does not use the same system for indicating hidden files and folders and as such will display them.

In other words the folder was generated when sass was used in the video as well, it just wasn't displayed due to the fact that the folder is hidden on Mac OS (formerly OSX) which was used in the video.
