Hi.. My 1 TB WD external drive has all my file (930 GB) on it and I does not make it hidden. All of file/folder won't show up in Explorer, but it shows only when i open with 7zip or winrar. To open it I need to extract the file first and I can't delete the file through 7zip ONLY (DOES NOT WORK WITH winrar). How to fix it? I'm using windows
All my files/data in External HD won't show up in Explorer.

How did you get the files to that drive and from where? What type of files? How can you open them in 7zip if you can's see the files? Are they all compressed? What if you turn on "view hidden and system files" in Windows?

Welcome to the community, airey_!
Have you tried accessing your files in that .rar file from another computer? I'd suggest you to give it a try and see if you'd be able to copy and extract them. I'd also second @hang-the-9 suggestions and advise you make sure you have un-hidden all your files and folders from the external drive.
Did you use any specific backup software for your files on the drive?
Keep us posted.

I still can extract them using my computer. However, as I mention before, total file in this drive is huge and I need to extract them one by one since not much memory left. I planning to do so but I did not have another external disk to keep my huge file before I reformatting this drive. Fyi, I did not use any backup software. The problem happen after I used my external disk at library.
