The 2 hidden files will be deleted as well. SmarThumb my.invisible’s function is to only hide a file – it is still physically located at the same place (in a folder or on the desktop). When you use my.invisible to hide a file that is within a folder, the file is still physically inside the folder. Therefore, when you delete the folder, the hidden file will also be AUTOMATICALLY DELETED. It is best to put all the files that you wish to hide inside one folder, and hide just that particular folder.
