# How do I show hidden files in Data Parking?

Click the eye button in the pane's toolbar to show or hide hidden files and folders. Your choice is remembered next time you open Data Parking.

Hidden files are always counted in folder sizes and always move with their folder, whether or not you choose to see them — the toggle only changes what's listed.
