Hello,

It looks like you have made every hidden folders to be showed. So you are watching $RECYCLE.BIN and System Volume Information. These are system folders so anything to these folders might cause a serious injury to your Windows.

From the Control Panel, type “Folder Option” in the search bar on the top-right. From the search result, select “Folder Option”. Click on the “View”. Click on “Restore Default” and then “OK”.

This will make the system folders hidden without giving any chance of being damaged.
