Hello,

I could not able to get my hidden file in external hard disk using 
attrib -r -a -s -h
command. My file name is New Folder 2.

After running the command 
dir /ah
the file name is showing as New Folder <2>.

Please help me to solve this issue.

Thank you
Hello,

Follow the below instructions.
  • First remove the autorun.inf file.
  • Click on this link and download the file AutorunExterminator.
  • Extract it > Double-click on AutorunExterminator > Plug your pendrive now.
  • This will remove the autorun.inf files from drives and plug your handy drive to remove the autorun.inf file also from it.


Note: Make sure Dot Net Framework is installed in your PC or download the Dot Net Framework from here


2)
  • Click on Start > Run > type cmd and press Enter.
  • Here I assume your pendrive drive letter as G:
  • Enter this command: 
    attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*
  • You can copy the above command > Right-click in the Command Prompt and paste it.
  • Note: You need to replace the letter G with your pen drive's letter.
  • Now check for your files.


OR
  • Click on Start > Run > type Control Folders and press Enter.
  • Folder Options will be opened. Click on the View tab.
  • Now select the option Show hidden files, folders or drives and uncheck the check box Hide protected operating system files > Click on OK button.
  • Now look for your hidden files in your drive.


Note: Undo the changes you have made by once again going to Folder Options > Click on View tab and click on Restore Defaults button > Click on OK.

3) After that, download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • Update it > Perform Full Scan
  • Note: Default selected option is "Quick Scan".


Good Luck
