Windows Trojan left me confuzzled...

Guy's picked up a trojan yesterday and have gone about reformatting my computer this morning.
Everything is sorted, only my SSD which I use specifically for games is not showing anything. The space is still being used up, as nothing has changed on there. But all that shows when clicked is "empty folder".
Any ideas? I've checked the ssd for bad errors, etc. When virus scanning the ssd it goes through all the folders "arma" "il2" etc, so its all there.........

all files and folders hidden?

Are they just simply hidden?

I dont think they are hidden.
I double click on the ssd through my computer, and it simply says "this folder is empty"

Yeah...
So did you go to settings and unhide hidden files?

My uncle had the same issue, the virus actually hidden them. Unhide them and they'll be there

Yep exactly the same thing on my sisters laptop last week.

Confuffled me at first but once I'd realised what had happened it was fairly easy to sort out.

Yep its the virus. You need to go to 'show hidden files & folders', and then select all the folders and un-hide them.
