=> Now, tap on "Show Hidden Files"
=> Go back and Create a folder with any name and move the files you want to hide inside the newly created folder. For me, i used "VisitGet Blog" as the name of my folder that i want to hide.
=> After moving your files into the folder, kindly rename the folder and add dot before the name of the folder. Then press OK. Immediately, it will become Hidden. For example, i renamed my folder and added dot, it now looks like ".VisitGet Blog"
