To use custom skins you'll first need to download one from a website like https://www.minecraftskins.com/.
From there you can save the file to your PC and then click 'add skin' in the launcher, then navigate to where you downloaded the skin and double click on it.
@Greymagic27 The skin is already downloaded, the file manager shows empty folders only when choosing a custom skin file.
