Ok I've got two folders that are showing up on my media HDD ghosted out

These are showing up in my main list of main folders, so I do not want them in the list as it throws me off a little.

The two that are ghosted that I would like to get rid of are:

$RECYCLE.BIN
System Volume Information

Thanks

Those are put in place on each drive when Vista/Win7 are installed...

They are System Folders and should be left alone...

they didnt show up until a few months after I've already had my media HDD up & running.

They are throwing off my entire list of contents.

How do I make them disappear?

You have probably gone into Folder Options and chosen to "Show Hidden Files". Go back to Folder Options and choose "Hide System Files".
