Windows 10: Why is file explorer not searching hidden folders in the users folder?

Please pay attention: (shown in picture)

I've put a file in:
C:\Users\jorge\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\UnsavedFiles\

and the same file in:
C:\Users\anton\Documents

When I do a File Explorer search for this file in the users folder (c:\users) or inside a user's folder (such as c:\users\anton), it finds the file in Documents, but not in the AppData folder.

Yet, if I do the same search in C: it returns both files.

Same result in 2 different computers in 1903 and after updating to 1909

Any help much appreciated *Tongue

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.

 

How to make a Uber Hidden Folder

Searching hidden files/folders

This is what I do:

• In explorer, browse to C:/Username
• Start a search there containing a folder name I know is in C:/Username/Appdata/Local
• The folder does not appear in search

Hidden files and folders are marked to be visible everywhere.
It seems like recursive search doesn't descend into hidden files/folders, because when I browse to Appdata and search there, I find it.

Any way to change this behaviorr?
