2: On "Cortana (window)," type "cmd" on the User keyboard and press "Enter."
This window will appear.
3. Determine the letter of your Flash Drive within the parenthesis "(Letter)" for example E:
4. Once you've determined your drive letter, type it into "cmd" and hit "Enter."
e: 
5. Copy and paste the following code into "cmd" and hit "Enter."
attrib -r -a -s -h /s /d e:\*.* 
Note: when your drive letter is not "e:", the code "attrib -r -a -s -h /s /d e:\*.*" must be changed to "attrib -r -a -s -h /s /d driveletter:\*.*"
Note: If your drive letter is not "e:" and you used the above code, you must change it to "attrib -r -a -s -h /s /d driveletter:*.*"
6. Wait until "driveletter:>" appears as shown in the image below.
We're not done yet! , Enter this extra code to delete unnecessary files.
del *.lnk 
7: Type "Exit"
8. For example, the files in the green box are unnecessary files after the attrib process, and you must remove all unnecessary files except the folder with no label/name. Because that folder contains all of your files.

FOLDER OPTION

Note: The folder option is available on Windows 7 and earlier versions! select "options"
2. Click "view"
3. Select the "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" option.
4. When you click "Apply" and "Ok," you will be able to see your hidden file in your flash drive and copy your files.
