  2. Recovering Hidden Files

    Well, you have already said that you had tried the cmd option but you unable to unhide hidden files in USB.
    So, I recommend you to recover hidden files from USB drive with Windows File Option. For this, you
    have follow these steps:

    • First of all, you have to press Windows + E to bring up the Windows Explorer.
    • Next, in Folder Options or File Explorer Options click the
      View tab
    • After this, in Hidden files & folders, you need to click the Show hidden files/folders & drives
      option.
    • Lastly, click the Apply, then hit OK
      button.
    After finishing all these steps, you can see the hidden files of the USB drive.

    File Explorer shows hidden drive

    I use diskpart tool to change one of my partition to hidden, but it still shows in the file explorer.

    I already

    1. set Folder Options to "Don't show hidden files, folders, and drivers"

    2. set View "Hidden items" unchecked

    How to reproduce,

    1. There is a showable partition, in my case, it is E drive

    2. run diskpart, switch to the partition

    3. run command set id = 17 override

    4. diskpart will show the partition hidden status is Yes now

    5. go back to file explorer, the E drive is still there
