    Finding A Hidden Folder

    Does anybody know how to find a hidden folder? I'm wondering if I need to find the Recycler folder. I think I spelt the name of that folder correctly. I need to know where this folder is because when I connected my XBox 360 to my PC and went to the music section in my XBox 360, it shown me 224 music albums on my TV screen and I deleted those albums from My Music in my PC months ago - some about a year ago. I need to delete those to save a lot of GBs of disk space.

    I wonder what else that I no longer need is in that folder. My XBox 360 only filtered out the music because I was in the music section.

    Many thanks.

    Darren.

      Open Windows Explorer>Tools>Folder Options>Tick "Show hidden folders"
      That MIGHT show it.

                    dazuk,
                    maybe im missing something here, but why cant you just go to your recycle bin, right click on file(s) you want to get rid of and select delete.

                        I do delete them from my Recycle Bin. I remember a time when I was using Norton Anti-Virus, I did a scan and I saw a folder listing stuff that I deleted from my Recycle Bin ages ago and my brother told me there's more stuff lingering around that's deleted. I assumed he was refering to the folder that I saw with that virus scan. Then I got very interested when my XBox 360 picked up a lot of music that I deleted months and months ago and at the time I only had two files in my Recycle Bin.
