** How to hide or remove a name from a folder in Windows 10 or Windows 11?
follow these steps: One trick you can use to hide the name of a folder is to use a space character as the name of the folder. This will cause the folder to appear as a blank space in the list of folders, making it difficult to identify.
To rename a folder with a space character:
- Open File Explorer and navigate to the folder you want to hide.
- Right-click on the folder and select "Rename" from the context menu.
- Press and hold the "Alt" key, and then type "0160" on the numeric keypad. This will insert a space character into the folder name.
- Press "Enter" to save the new folder name.
Keep in mind that this trick may not work in all situations, and it may be easier for someone to simply rename the folder or delete it if they have access to your computer. It is generally more secure to use the methods mentioned earlier to hide a folder or set a password for it.
