    Hidden folders

    I installed `Kane and Lynch` on my PC twice in Program Files(x86) folder but I can`t find them (2 folders with game). But free space on my HDD is lower. So there`re those folders on my hdd. I use option `unhide` hidden folders but still can`t find them. Any suggestions? How can i delete those hidden folders?

    When I run istallation for this game I can see those folders in Program Files(x86) folde.

    I`m using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

  3. Restore hidden file attributes

    Thanks for the response. I did a system restore, it worked on some files (on AppData) but not on all of them.

    The cardinal sin was that I did a right click in 'users' folder, properties --> attributes --> hidden (unmark,apply) --> apply to all subfolders. When I did the counter step, it obviously hides all the previously shown files too.
