I am telling you what the reason is and why is this happens, If you want to hide data by using an application.

It encrypts the data and sometimes junk cleaner application removes your encrypted data, junk cleaner application detects encrypted data as junk files because encrypted data can’t be executed by any file that’s why encrypted data become hidden.
That’s why I preferred to use this trick, easy to use, and very useful trick.

For Example:
 Folder name:   Video is visible.

When inserting a dot (.) –  .video will be hidden.
