How to view and copy hidden files and folders in Linux?

How can I view hidden files in my flash drive?

  • My flash drive has a virus and then almost all of my folders got hidden. How can I view them? I tried the tools menu but it doesn't show "show hidden files"

  • Answer:

    This is what I did last time. I scanned my flash drive with AVG anti-virus, and while it was scanning it showed some folder names which I couldn't see normally. So i typed those folder names in the address bar(screenshot below) and then normally use files from them. So if You remember Your folder names, try to do the same.
