<title>Hide a file</title>
<p>The GNOME file manager gives you the ability to hide and unhide files at
your discretion. When a file is hiddden, it isn't displayed by the file
manager, but it's still there in its folder.</p>
<p>To hide a file, <link xref="files-rename">rename it</link> with a <key>.</key>
at the beginning of its name. For example, to hide a file named <file>
example.txt</file>, you should rename it to <file>.example.txt</file>.
</p>
<note>
<p>You can hide folders in the same way that you can hide files. Hide a
folder by placing a <key>.</key> at the beginning of the folder's name.</p>

<section id="show-hidden">
<title>Show all hidden files</title>
<p>If you want to see all hidden files in a folder, go to that folder and
either click <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Show Hidden Files</gui></guiseq> or
press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>H</key></keyseq>. You will see all hidden
files, along with regular files that are not hidden.</p>
<p>To hide these files again, either click <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>
Show Hidden Files</gui></guiseq> or press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>H</key>
</keyseq> again.</p>
</section>
<section id="unhide">
<title>Unhide a file</title>
<p>To unhide a file, go to the folder containing the hidden file and click
<guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Show Hidden Files</gui></guiseq>. Then, find the
hidden file and rename it so that it doesn't have a <key>.</key> in front of
its name. For example, to unhide a file called <file>.example.txt</file>, you should
rename it to <file>example.txt</file>.</p>
<p>Once you have renamed the file, you can either click <guiseq><gui>View
</gui><gui>Show Hidden Files</gui></guiseq> or press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key>
<key>H</key></keyseq> to hide any other hidden files again.</p>
<note><p>By default, you will only see hidden files in the file
manager until you close the file manager. To change this setting so that the
file manager will always show hidden files, see <link xref="nautilus-views"/>.
</p></note>
<note><p>Most hidden files will have a <key>.</key> at the
beginning of their name, but others might have a <key>~</key> at the end of
their name instead. These files are backup files. See
<link xref="files-tilde"/> for more information.</p></note>
