Step 1: Hide your files and folder

First we create a directory/folder in any drive. Lets suppose I make a folder in D: drive by the name of “folder1”, then another folder by the name of “f2” inside folder1 and then I save an image file inside f2 folder. D drive -> folder1 -> f2 -> Image1.jpg

When you will click on properties, a dialog box will open and you will see an option by the name of “Hidden”. Click on check box and then OK, your file will hide from the scene.
