Hi, your issue sounds puzzling. The folder might appear empty in File Explorer but still contain data. Checking via Command Prompt shows files are present and accessible. After moving the drive to another Linux machine, everything functions normally there. It could be a temporary glitch or a file system inconsistency. Try verifying with a different method or ensure no hidden files are affecting the view. No need to reformat unless you're certain. Let me know if you need further help!

I applied xcopy to move certain files, which led the folder to become a protected OS directory. As a result, hidden folders weren't visible unless I changed their permissions. The workaround I found is: https://superuser.com/a/1362050/942315 tl;dr: attrib -s -h D:\hiddenfoldername
