Arben Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 There may be many reasons why we cannot find files and folders in Windows, either because we have accidentally deleted them, we have changed their location, they are hidden in the system, among others. If we have deleted them, we can use the recycle bin, while if we have changed their location, to find them we only have to use the Windows search engine. But what about hidden files? Through File Explorer Another, much easier option for showing hidden files and folders on our computer is found on the file explorer's ribbon. The option we're looking for is on the View ribbon and is called Hidden Items. To show all hidden files and folders, we just have to check this box. From CMD Unlike the graphical interface, where if files and folders are not shown we cannot access them (there is nowhere to click), from the command prompt we can open and access files and folders that are hidden in the system, although when listing them they are not shown, since they have the Hidden attribute activated. If we want to see only the hidden files found in the directory, we must use the following command. https://www.softzone.es/windows/como-se-hace/mostrar-archivos-directorios-ocultos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
