    Are you referring to Selective Sync? If so, you didn't hide the folders; you removed them from your local drive. Don't worry though, as the folders will still be in your account online. Just go back into the Selective Sync settings and check the folders again. Give it time to sync and it will download all the folders back to your local drive. If they're large or you have a lot of folders it will take time, so be patient.
