Hey guys, lest see how to hide folder in windows 10 completely. Folder will not show even by enabling check box for ‘ show hidden files, folders & drives’. We will hide & then show folder using command prompt.
So lets start how to hide folder completely and then show again.
Step 1. Browse the folder location that we want to hide. In my case I’ll hide ‘tempdir’ folder like in below image:
Step 2. Now go with shift + right click – press ‘shift’ button and right click on free space (not on folder). And select ‘Open PowerShell window here’ option. See image below.
Step 3. In command prompt, run below command to hide folder
attrib +s +h "Folder name"
Example: in my case, I want to hide ‘tempdire’ folder.
attrib +s +h "tempdir"
Now right click on free space and ‘refresh’ then you will tempdir folder is disappeared. You can go to folder option > view and check ” show hidden files, folders & drives” option but still folder will not display.
Step 4. Run below command to show back folder
attrib -s -h "folder name"
Example: in my case, I want to show ‘tempdire’ folder that I was hide in step 3.
attrib -s -h "tempdir"
