Resolved Can't show hidden folders

hi guys.

i accidently made a folder "hidden" and now i can't see it anymore, although i can access it.

got into properties, right clock on the folder, ticked "hidden" and pressed APPLY.

now i can't see that folder. i tried

folder options->view->show hidden files and folders->apply or OK and nothing changes
and when i go again into folder options->view i can see the show hidden files is STILL unticked even though i just ticked it.

the reason i accidently made the folder hidden is because if i right clicked on it and then "properties" the computer tells me i had 8GB in it but when i was inside it i couldnt find all the 8GB but only 3GBs. i tried to "un-hide" the extra hidden 5GB and accidentally did the opposite.

so not i have hidden 5GBs AND a hidden folder in which i have the hidden 5GBs.


what should i do?

thanks.

this is embarrassing.

 

ah! thanks.
searching for it (and including hidden files in the search) showed me my folder in the search results. then i could right clikc the folder in the results and untick the hidden button now i can see that folder and all the missing GBs,

cheers, mate.
