Hello,
I have a folder that that no longer shows any files in explorer. I right click on this folder, click on properties and see that there 171 MB of 59 files in this folder, yet in the explorer view it says there are none. Properties says that these files are not hidden. So how can I see and access my files?

Thank You

Have you gone to tools-folder options-view and ticked show hidden files and folders and show protected system files and folders? this would show anything that is in the folder. (note turn back off show protected system files so that you dont delete something by mistake in the future =p )

also have you tried opening the folder on a different computer?
