The installation might have left some areas uninstalled or corrupted, causing those grayed-out folders. Check your system files and reinstall Windows if needed. Also, ensure all partitions are properly recognized. Let me know if you need further help!

These folders are usually concealed. If you don’t have that container, you won’t see them

They are concealed system directories. Avoid touching them!

That's correct, though sometimes viruses employ similar methods, making it difficult to detect them even during searches.

Advanced users can see them clearly. Simpler to perform manual backups if you can reach folders such as AppData.
