The case above reveals a common problem facing by thousands of electronic device users.

• Files hidden in USB drive or memory card due to corruption or virus attack

Among all the cases, extra handling shall be applied only when you believe virus infection has happened. Please make sure to scan the infected disk drive with spyware removal software before trying the methods below.

Method 1. How to Show Hidden Files in Windows 10/8/7

In Windows PC, users can manually hide the files or folders that they don’t want anyone else to see, but some people could forget it. In this case, we can choose to show hidden files in Windows Explorer.

For Windows 10 and 8

• Step 1. Open the folder which is supposed to contain the hidden files.
• Step 2. On the menu bar, click View tab, then tick the box Hidden items.
  
• Step 3. Check the same folder for hidden files.

The change will apply to all hidden files and items on your Windows 10/8 computer. If you want to hidden a specific item again, just right-click on it, choose Properties, then tick the box of Hide.

For Windows 7

• Step 4. Click OK to apply the setting.

This method also applies for files manually hidden in removable disk drives, like external hard drive, USB drive and memory card.

Method 2. How to Recover Hidden Files (100% Working)

Method 3. Recover Hidden Files from USB with Command Prompt

The above two methods should work for most cases. However, if you’d like to try more solutions, the CMD utility in Windows is worth a try.

• Step 1. Click the Start menu, type CMD, then right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator.
• Step 2. In Command Prompt, type the following command (replace G with the drive letter of the disk that contains the hidden files):
  attrib -h -r -s /s /d G:*.*
• Step 3. Hit Enter after typing the command above.
• Step 4. Re-connect the drive (if it is removable) and check the hidden files.

Method 4. Show Hidden Files with CHKDSK Command

Similar to the Command above, CHKDSK is another command for recovering hidden files. This command will check the target disk drive and try to fix possible errors so that the hidden files will appear again.

• Step 1. Run Command Prompt as administrator as described in Method 3.
• Step 2. Type chkdsk G: /f /r /x and hit Enter. (G is the drive letter of the disk that contains the hidden files)

Command Prompt can actually do further, such as recovering corrupted SD card with DISKPART command, if the CHKDSK command doesn’t work for you.
