The left part of the above screen shows the overall folder structure of the system. The top part shows the structure of the <user_default_folder> that the logon user "pi" manages his data, and the part under the "/" (root) folder below it shows the structure of the entire <system default file> of the Raspberry Pi system.
If you look closely, you can see that the <user_default_folder> in the upper part actually separately display the information corresponding to the contents of the /pi folder under the /home folder in the <system_filename> structure. The right side of the screen displays the contents of the data contained in the selected folder. You can view data in various forms according to the setting selected in [View] menu.
