How can I show hidden folders in Windows 10?

To display hidden folders in Windows 10, you can follow these steps:

  1. To open “File Explorer,” you can either click on the folder icon on the taskbar or use the shortcut Win + E.
  2. Click on the “View” tab in the top menu bar of the File Explorer.
  3. In the “View” tab, check the “Hidden items” checkbox under “Hidden Elements”. Note: this will display hidden files, folders, and drives.
  4. If you only want to display hidden folders, you can click the checkbox for “File name extensions” under “Hidden items”. This way, only folders will be displayed.
  5. After displaying hidden folders, you can browse them in File Explorer and perform necessary operations.

Please be aware that displaying hidden folders comes with certain risks, as some hidden folders may contain system files or important data. Before making any changes or deleting hidden folders, make sure you understand their contents and purpose.
