You can also hide an existing folder on your tablet. All you have to do is open the file manager then navigate to the folder that you want to hide. Once you locate the folder, open it and then select the option to Create a new file. When asked for the file name, type ‘.nomedia’
A nomedia file is among the files on Android that could be in the internal or external storage that does not have data media. Files with a .nomedia extension will be excluded from scanning or reading on the Android file explorer. In other words, they’re hidden.
After creating the file, close or exit the file manager and then reboot your tablet. The folder will be hidden by then.
