Hello Alex, In List view, the right arrow expands the folder you’re on which is confusing. To open the folder you should use either Cmd-Down Arrow or Cmd-o. To go up a level, press Cmd-Up Arrow.
You can collapse all the expanded folders in your window by pressing Left Arrow repeatedly. I always use List view as I find it more logical than column view.
