I used the program to hide a folder on my external hardrive. I then clicked remove to unhide it but instead it is still hidden. I know the file is still there because it is taking up space. How do i get unhide the file? Is there a program that finds hidden files? Help!!! Please

asking for money for a simple terminal command? - Version: 2.6.1, 5/7/2004 02:12PM PST

here is the command to type in the terminal to hide a folder:

/Developer/Tools/./SetFile -a V FolderName

(where FolderName is the name of the folder you want to hide - better still, just type up to V and a space, then drag the folder in the terminal window so the full path appears)

to reverse, type the same command but with a lowercase v

of course SetFile is part of Apple's Developer Tools so you need those installed

that's it
