Viewing and working with Hidden Files

Post by gawami »

I've searched and looked and tired and can't find a way to get hidden files to show up so I work with them.   Norton tells me I have some bad acters in my RECYLE folder but can't delete them, so I need to get in there manually and get them out of my computer.

Any ideas?

make sure you have "show hidden files" checked in xplorer2's options
perhaps you'll have to enable "show protected system files" from control panel too (folder options)

if all fails the professional version has an option to see the Raw contents of folders (View menu) that will show you the real files within the recycle bin
