Can only see half of folder screen?

ViewShow Preview ⇧⌘P / Hide Preview ⇧⌘P toggles the pane on the right.

You can alternatively…

  • drag the edge of the window right to make the window bigger so you can see more contents without hiding the preview pane.
  • choose View → Arrange By to choose an arrangement of items — any arrangement will automatically place the folder contents within the view with only vertical scrolling.
