Cool. I'm glad you proved me wrong and your files survived!
You can use '/s' with the attrib command also to process subfolders as well
in one fail swoop ie so that you don't have to type the command for each
folder.
Also via explorer you could right-click the top level folder > Properties >
Uncheck the 'hidden' attribute. You may get the option to apply it to all
subfolders at the same time. Worth a try.

no sir jon
Its not been deleted..
i removed the hidden attribute using command prompt "attrib -h"
command .. and the folder appears!!!
The problem here again is.. in this folder.. i have many sub folders
and sub sub folders whose names i may not know..
so doing the same for all these sub folders using command prompt
attrib -h command seems too far fetched..
(using attrib -h command with the wildcard "*" works only for files,
not for sub folders)
Any clues??
