If you've accidentally hidden your files and need to unhide them, you can try the following steps to reveal your hidden files on Windows:

Method 1: Using File Explorer Options​

  1. Open File Explorer.
  2. Go to the "View" tab on the top menu.
  3. Check the "Hidden items" box in the "Show/hide" section. This will display hidden files and folders.

    Method 2: Using Command Prompt​

  4. Press Win + R to open the "Run" dialog.
  5. Type in cmd and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
  6. In the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter:
    Code:
     attrib -h -s C:\Path\To\Your\Hidden\Folder
    Replace C:\Path\To\Your\Hidden\Folder with the path to your hidden files/folder.

    Replace C:\Path\To\Your\Hidden\Folder with the path to your hidden files/folder.

    Method 3: Using PowerShell​

  7. Press Win + X and select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" from the menu.
  8. In the PowerShell window, enter the following command and press Enter:
    Code:
     Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Path\To\Your\Hidden\Folder" -Force | Where-Object { $_.Attributes -match "Hidden" } | ForEach-Object { $_.Attributes = $_.Attributes -band (-bnot [System.IO.FileAttributes]::Hidden)}
    Again, replace C:\Path\To\Your\Hidden\Folder with the path to your hidden files/folder. After trying these methods, you should be able to unhide your files and access them normally. Make sure to replace the placeholder path with the actual path to your hidden files or folder. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
