Is there any way to hide these. They are in every partition.

How are you ending up with all those files in the first place ?!

They look like directories made by Windows with long filenames, probably "System Volume Information"

I agree, the ~ is normally generated by windows, not TOS.

Yes definitiely some Windows sytem folders. If I remember correctly, the TOS desktop hides files that have the "system" file attribute set on them, whereas EmuTOS's desk ignores the attribute completely and happily shows them to the unexpecting user.

Oddly, they don't show up when I view the SD card in windows.

I have it set to view hidden files, but you've just made me think that it could be that I used select all when moving files. I'll test it all from scratch using another SD card and just drag and drop only.

You need to turn on the folder option on your PC to show hidden and systems files to see them...

That's on exxos. They only show up on the Atari. Stuff like this melts my head :lol:

You're right exxos! Clicked show important system files. Moral of this story is Don't use select all!
