Can't ignore specific folders, none of the ways I tried worked.

I'm trying to ignore the folder "/Users/oneechan/Applications (Parallels)". I looked up other help posts and write the following:

• Adding the comment about:ignore in Finder by selecting the file > get info.
• Trying the ignore in Alfred workflow: https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/18796-ignore-in-alfred-—-exclude-files-and-folders-from-alfred’s-search-results/
• Trying the command described here: https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/17587-alfredignore-no-longer-working/?do=findComment&comment=90903, and getting the following error message:
  • sudo osxmetadata --set com.apple.metadata:kMDItemFinderComment 'alfred:ignore' -- "/Users/oneechan/Applications (Parallels)"
    • Invalid attribute name: com.apple.metadata:kMDItemFinderComment

I also tried adding the folder to the exclude list in macos Settings > Siri & Spotlight > Spotlight Privacy.

@Oneechan69 once you've added the Applications (Parallels) folder to Spotlight Privacy, type "reload" in Alfred to clear his cache. This should do the trick

OK I got it. It didn't show up at the top when I wrote "Reload" but it was actually at the bottom of the list for some reason. Anyway, that worked and how it shows up at the top when I type "Reload"
