    Removing the Hidden Status from the AppData folder creates many, seemingly unrelated, issues


    Hello,Today, I wanted to disable the unhide the AppData folder in my user folder as I use that folder frequently. To do this, I right-clicked the folder, went to more options, and properties and then unselected the read-only and hidden options and applied to to the AppData folder and all subfolders and files. In retrospect, removing the read-only was likely not necessary. After applying it, it asked for administer permission, which I gave it, and then waited about two minutes for it to complete the process.Afterwards, I noticed nearly every app and program on my pc acting up.

    How to access appdata folder

    Hi Jaden,

    Thank you posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty with the problem.

    I would suggest you to follow the below steps.

    • Write in the search box the following: “%appdata%” .
    • After the search is finished left click or tap on the folder that the search feature found.
    • If it takes you to the following path: “C:\Users\The user that you are logged in with\AppData\Roaming”.
    • It means that your folders are still there but they are hidden.
    • Click on “View”.
    • Check the box “Hidden items”
    Also you refer to the below link.

    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.
