Android has some of the simplest solutions to view all hidden files. Many system files in Android are hidden in the system folder of the device storage. Even though sometimes they may be useful, yet at other times, they are just unused junk files that consume storage space unnecessarily. Therefore, the best way is to delete it and manage your Android devices accordingly.

For doing this, you need to open the “Applications” drawer, and then open the “File Manager”. After that, you need to click on the dotted menu and select settings. Now enable the option “Show hidden files”. The default file explorer will display the hidden files.
By using the file manager application:

In addition, you can download and install Android File Explorer. Open the application and select the option tool. You need to scroll down and enable the option “Show hidden files”. You can browse files and folders, then go to the root folder and see hidden files in it.
