    Contents of folder not showing up


    Hello!

    I reinstalled my OS about a month ago, and took everything I wanted to keep and put it on an external hard drive. Everything was fine except one folder that I had moved to the external hard drive. The folder was a combination of videos and pictures, and it had stopped displaying the folder preview, and when I look in the folder it appears to be empty. Looking at the properties of the folder, it tells me that the folder tells me it does have files in it.

    I moved a copy back to my computer, and the files still aren't showing up. Does anyone know how to get the files to show back up/fix this?

    Thanks for your time,
    -Mike

    The content of the folder may be hidden .

    Hidden Files and Folders - Show or Hide


    Check it first.

    If not hidden, the copy you backed to the computer, try to restore previous version.
