    Hi Saad,

    Thank you for the update, glad to know that we are able to hide the folder

    Found.000 and Found.001.

    System Volume Information on the root of each drive that remains hidden from view even when you choose to show system files.

    System Volume Information includes the restore points for System Restore, a database for restoring linked documents and shortcuts, databases for fast file searches (if you use this feature) and possibly a few other bits and pieces.

    Hi Kaitou,

    Folder name “FOUND.000, FOUND.001” is created whenever disk check (chkdsk) is done, some files that are detected as having issues are separately stored in a folder called FOUND.000, FOUND.001, etc. The files in the folder has the extension .chk. These files contains the backup copy/parts of the files that have been removed during the scan.

    If there is any error, only then the chk files are created. If there is no error, the files are not created, but the folder is sometimes created. You can delete the folder in such case.

    To hide a folded, let’s try the following steps:

    Press Windows + X and select the option Command Prompt (Admin).

    Type the following command: Type attrib +s +h "XX" and hit Enter.

    Note: XX is your file or folder address

    Example: attrib +s +h "c:\filename”

    To unhide a folder, refer to the following steps: Type attrib -s -h "XX"

    Hope the information provided is helpful.
