Yesterday my friend said to me that his computers infected by a Virus. after scan with Antivirus he can successfully removed and cleaned the virus, but some files and folder missing in his computer. He tried go to Properties Tools-> Folder Options->View-> Show Hidden Files and Folders but it didn’t worked.
Do you have the same experience with my friend’s Stories?
If you get the same experience you have to check first
if you find in your folder still have the size of data but you cannot see the data its mean the folder is not lost but just hidden.
Ok follow the instruction below:
1. Go to Start-Run and type Cmd
2. in the command prompt type attrib –s –h *.* /s /d
Type the command in the drive where you have missing data ex: C:\>attrib -s -h *.* /s /d or D:\>attrib -s -h *.* /s /d ..etc
3. Done, Refresh the folder, now you can see your missing files or Folder :)
Glossary :
- (+) sets an attribute

- S System file attribute
- H Hidden file attribute
