Causa

This is because of the HIDDEN and SYSTEM attributes that were set on the folder.

Risoluzione

  1. Go to the windows command prompt on the host system.
  2. cd to the parent directory where the folder is missing and run "attrib /d".
  3. You should see a list of directories and missing folder should be in the list.image
  4. The letters before it indicate the attributes. You should be seeing SH before the file (SYSTEM and HIDDEN).
  5. Then run this command to remove the above two attributes : attrib -H -S folder_name
