The folder that needs to be designated as the "no media" folder needs to contain a NOMEDIA file. If you would like to hide the contents of the folder, you can create one yourself or unhide the ringtones, music, videos, and other content by deleting the NOMEDIA file. This type of file can be created and removed straight from your device using an app like Nomedia from g(x) labs or the Nomedia app from Droida. You can rename any file in any folder to be called by using certain file explorer apps, such as File Manager Pro.NONEMEDIA. Using your computer to create or remove NOMEDIA files is an additional method.
As seen in the image at the top of this page, you can open File Explorer in Windows and type the address in the navigation bar. From there, you can rename any existing files to include the NOMEDIA file extension or create a new text document with the extension .NOMEDIA in any folder. Reread the file extension if you’re trying to use a NOMEDIA file and it’s not functioning the way you expected it to; it might be a completely different file.
Using a computer, delete the NOMEDIA file the same way you would any other file: either right-click the file and choose DELETE, or select the file and hit DELETE on your keyboard. To create and remove them on an Android device, you will need to download a file manager app like Nomedia.
