To make it visible the following steps can be followed:

1. Go to the main folder( where the hidden files/folders exist), Click on the organize folder and search options from menu.

2. Click on view  tab.

3. By default, it is set to "Do not show hidden files and folders".

4.Change it to "show hidden files and folders".

5. Click apply then OK.
