Invisible Files?

This is a very common problem that almost everyone faces. Due to virus or any other reason, files go hidden and are not visible by easy methods. So, this is a trick that works every time. If you had important data on your Pen-drive or phone etc. and it is not visible also after scanning, here is the method to make it visible -

1) Open Run (Windows +R) and type cmd.
2) After command prompt opens, type the following -
   Attrib -h -r -s /d /s x:*.*
3) The x in the command will be replaced by the Drive's C, D, E etc etc.










4) Here, for example lets take H drive so you write it as -
   Attrib -h -r -s /d /s h:*.*














5) Click enter and wait for a few seconds for CMD to respond.
6) Done! Now your files will be visible.
