Latest LR - Win 10
I have WIN 10 set to show all hidden files and folders (including system files).
In the folder containing the catalog, there is / are the .lrcat files and the backup folder.

When I go to backup my catalogs to cloud, It is saying there are THOUSANDS of files / folders.
Why am I not able to see these files / folders for LR, when I can see all other system / hidden files for other apps?

Even though you can see hidden folders on your computer, it’s usually best to leave them alone. These hidden folders contain the necessary instructions for your computer to run properly. There are ways like you can use File Explorer and Command Prompt. There are a few more ways one can refer to: https://www.sysinfotools.com/blog/show-hidden-files-and-folders-windows-10/
