I'm trying to animate the size of .folder because otherwise the background stays.

- Run the code snippet. It will explain the problem.

I don't want set fixed values:

.enabled > .folder-body {
  height: 100px;
}

:not(.enabled) > .folder-body {
  height: 0px;
}

I tried using transform but i couldn't get it to work.

(Styled Version)

const folder = document.querySelector('#folder');

const header = document.querySelector('#header');

header.addEventListener('click', () => {
  folder.classList.toggle('enabled');
});
p {
  margin: 0;
}

.folder {
  border: 2px solid black;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.folder-header {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  color: white;
  background-color: black;
}

.folder-header>svg {
  height: 15px;
  fill: white;
  transition: all 0.2s ease-out;
}

.enabled>.folder-header>svg {
  transform: rotateZ(90deg);
}

.folder-body {
  transition: all 0.2s ease-out;
}

.enabled>.folder-body {
  transform: none;
  clip-path: polygon(0% 0%, 100% 0%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);
  visibility: visible;
}

:not(.enabled)>.folder-body {
  transform: translateY(-100%);
  clip-path: polygon(0% 100%, 100% 100%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);
  visibility: hidden;
}
<div class="folder disabled" id="folder">

You can do it by setting the max-height of the element to something bigger than your box will ever get.
Then you can close it by setting max-height: 0.

I didn't think of this. Here's a CSS Tricks article and a post on dev.to.

const folder = document.querySelector('#folder');

const header = document.querySelector('#header');

header.addEventListener('click', () => {
  folder.classList.toggle('enabled');
});
p {
  margin: 0;
}

.folder {
  border: 2px solid black;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.folder-header {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  color: white;
  background-color: black;
}

.folder-header>svg {
  height: 15px;
  fill: white;
  transition: all 0.2s ease-out;
}

.enabled>.folder-header>svg {
  transform: rotateZ(90deg);
}

.folder-body {
  max-height: 500px;
  transition: all 0.2s ease-out;
}

.enabled>.folder-body {
  max-height: 500px;
}

:not(.enabled)>.folder-body {
  max-height: 0;
}

Example with height: 0 to height: auto.

const folder = document.querySelector('#folder');

const header = document.querySelector('#header');

header.addEventListener('click', () => {
  folder.classList.toggle('enabled');
});
p {
  margin: 0;
}

.folder {
  overflow: hidden;
}

.folder-header {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  color: white;
  background-color: black;
  padding: 0 10px;
}

.folder-header>svg {
  height: 15px;
  fill: white;
  transition: all 0.2s ease-out;
}

.enabled>.folder-header>svg {
  transform: rotateZ(90deg);
}

.folder-body {
  transition: all 0.2s ease-out;
  height: 0;
  border: 2px solid black;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  padding: 0px;
}

.enabled>.folder-body {
  padding: 10px;
}

.enabled>.folder-body {
  transform: none;
  clip-path: polygon(0% 0%, 100% 0%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);
  visibility: visible;
  height: auto;
}

:not(.enabled)>.folder-body {
  transform: translateY(-100%);
  clip-path: polygon(0% 100%, 100% 100%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);
  visibility: hidden;
}
