    What is the type, version, and build of the app?
    Outlook does not have a feature to hide folders themselves.
    Please check the status of the Focused Inbox, Filter Display, and View settings for the emails in the folder.

    アプリの種類・バージョン・ビルドは何でしょうか?
    Outlookには、フォルダそのものを非表示にする機能はありません。
    フォルダ内のメールについて、優先受信トレイ、フィルター表示、ビュー設定の状態を確認してみて下さい。

    Hi @Debra Cain

    Welcome to our forum!

    Agree with simo-k. How did you hide your folder? Could you describe the detailed operation?

    Meanwhile, there is a way to display all folders by going to More Apps>Folders to change the views in Outlook, and then you can try to find out if there is a folder that you have hidden.User's image

    Hope it helps!
