Hidden OS files still showing in remote applications.
I use remote access programs on my Android device (mainly ES and FX file Explorer) using the SMB protocol. For some reason I can still see all of the protected operating system files. $Recycle.bin, System Volume Information, Program Data etc.
I've tried a lot of things. Disabled administrative shares, reset all the sharing and security permissions, but they still appear on the remote applications.
They are still hidden in the OS on my desktop though. I also don't recall seeing them remotely until recently, and since the issue persists in multiple apps, I believe something has changed in Windows itself. I have also uninstalled/reinstalled the apps just to rule them out.
If anyone has some thoughts or information that can lead to a fix I'd really appreciate the help.
