How To Fix USB/Flash Drive Empty Problem even When It Is Full

On so many occasions when I connect a USB drive to my system it shows that the drive is empty even when I have just copied something into it. I have come to know that this is either due to a setting on my PC that makes the files hidden or due to a virus infection in the drive.

In this tutorial, we shall be looking at two different methods that we can employ to fix this issue.

Click on the Start button and type cmd in the search box; or press the key combination “Win+R” to open the Run tool and type in cmd in the search box.

Let me explain what each of those letters/words do:
The “attrib” command is used to change the attributes of the drive.The -h parameter tells Windows to clear the hidden file attribute of the drive
The -r tells Windows to clear the read-only file attribute of the drive
The -s parameter tells Windows to clear the System file attribute of the drive
The /s tells Windows to process files in the drive and the /d to process all the folders in the drive.
