Disable password and try again. If folder options are set to show hidden folders, when you put cursor over hidden folder it will still show memory usage there. If you do not see contents but device shows memory used, then you need a recovery program.

Get Total Commander [use to be Windows Commander till bill sent him a "letter" a decade ago] free and no adware. It's shareware that doesn't go away just gives a "send http://www.ghisler.com/ $ and avoid this screen" when you first start it. All the old commands from the Blue screen DOS masterpiece Peter Norton wrote 30 years ago. Trust me, and set it up to show hidden files, you'll never use WE again unless you have to, it's on all my USB's.
