You can set files to be hidden by adding a dot (.) to the beginning of the filename.

However, you are dual booting something with Windows, it'll freak out if you rename $RECYCLE.BIN to .$RECYCLE.BIN. Same with system volume information.

Try hitting Ctrl+H. It sounds like you have "Show hidden folders" enabled. If that isn't enabled, you can try renaming the folders and putting a period in front of the name. Like this: .foldername

i am not duel booting windows i only have ubuntu and my removable drives. but these folders/folders appear in all my removable drives too. its so annoying to see them.

Thanks all for help. i dont see them files anymore now.

Those Recycle Bin folders are probably there from the drives being used in Windows. In Windows each separate hard drive (removable usb's count as HDD's) gets its own recycle bin folder. Pretty sure Linux is the same way.

Make a file named .hidden and place all the folder names you want to hide - one per line - save and refresh. The file must be in the main folder of the subfolders you want to hide.

Edit: you can delete all the Windows system directories. The minute you connect it to a Windows machine it will be back.

Interesting.

The same thing applies to Ubuntu's .trash folder as well.
