  4. Scroll down and find the option “Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)” and make sure it is checked.
  5. Scroll up and find the option “Show hidden files, folders, and drives” and check it.
  6. Click “Apply” and then “OK” to save the changes.
  7. In File Explorer, navigate to the OneDrive folder.
  8. Right-click on the OneDrive folder and select “Properties.”
  9. In the Properties window, select the “General” tab.
  10. At the bottom of the General tab, check the box next to “Hidden.”
  11. Click “Apply” and then “OK” to save the changes.
