The Files file manager gives you the ability to hide and unhide files at your discretion. When a file is hidden, it is not displayed by the file manager, but it is still there in its folder.
To hide a file, rename it with a . at the beginning of its name. For example, to hide a file named example.txt, you should rename it to .example.txt.
You can hide folders in the same way that you can hide files. Hide a folder by placing a . at the beginning of the folder’s name.

To unhide a file, go to the folder containing the hidden file. Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select Show Hidden Files, or press Ctrl+H. Then, find the hidden file and rename it so that it does not have a . in front of its name. For example, to unhide a file called .example.txt, you should rename it to example.txt.
Once you have renamed the file, you can either press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and switch off Show Hidden Files, or press Ctrl+H to hide any other hidden files again.

Most hidden files will have a . at the beginning of their name, but others might have a ~ at the end of their name instead. These files are backup files. See What is a file with a ~ at the end of its name? for more information.
